How do I open a bank account in the UK?

Most banks require that you will be in the UK for 6 months or more to open a bank account.  You will need several documents including your passport, visa, and a bank letter, which you can request on your e:Vision account and pick-up at the Student Information Desk after enrolment.  For more information and advice on how to open a bank account, please see the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website.
