TV Licence

Home › For Students › International Students › Living in the UK › TV Licence

Students must buy a TV licence if they have a television in their home. Using a TV or any other device to receive or record TV programmes (for example, a VCR, set-top box, DVD recorder or PC with a broadcast card) without a valid TV Licence is against the law and could lead to prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000.
