A reference number called a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) should be gotten from your educational institution in the UK as you will need it for your visa application.
You must provide proof that you can speak, read, write and understand English. This usually means passing a secure English language test.
You are required to have enough money to support yourself and pay for the course for the entire duration of your stay in the UK.
If you are a recipient of a scholarship, you are to provide evidence of such sponsorship, how much you are entitled to and other details of your scholarship.

If your studies will NOT exceed 11 months such as taking a short course of study or a short period of research as part of a degree course you’re taking in Nigeria, you need to apply for a Short-term study visa.

The short-term study visa allows you to stay for the length of your study and extend your stay for an extra 30 days as long as your total stay in the UK doesn’t exceed 6 months or 11 months and you are 16 or older and studying an English language course.
The short-term study visa costs £97 for a 6-month visa and £186 for an 11-month visa.
