You should make an application under 'Tier 4-Students' category of the new Points-based system. Total 40 points have to be obtained to get the student's visa.
Fill Visa application form VAF 9 and visa fees is 255 pounds.
You need to have the visa letter from the university, which they provide once you pay the course fees.
You must provide evidence at the time of application that you have sufficient funds to live in UK and also have tuition fees.
Visa application may be submitted personally at the VFS UK local office.
If the authenticity of documents that you have attached is confirmed, issue of visa will not take more than 7 days to 15 days.
In some cases there will be a personal visa interview before a visa is granted or denied

Your course provider may be willing to help you to apply for a UK student visa once you have been offered a place on a course; ask to find out if this is the case. You can apply for the visa up to three months in advance of the start date of your course. Check the average visa processing times for your country, and be sure to allow plenty of time.
UK student visas are awarded on a points-based system. In order to meet all the UK student visa requirements, you’ll need to provide:- Details of your passport
- A recent photograph
- An unconditional offer of a place on a course offered by a licensed Tier 4 Sponsor, evidenced by a 'Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies’ (CAS) form from your course provider (worth 30 points)
- Proof of adequate English language skills, demonstrated by passing one of the secure English language tests (SELT). You will not need to provide this if you’re from an English-speaking country such as the United States or have completed a qualification equivalent to a UK degree in an English-speaking country.
- Proof you have financial support throughout your stay in the UK (worth 10 points)
Proof of financial support can take the form of bank statements or a letter from your financial sponsor, showing you can cover your tuition fees, accommodation and living costs. You must prove that you have £1,015 (~US$1,230) per month for living costs if studying in the UK outside of London, and £1,265 (~US$1,540) a month for living costs if studying in London.
