You will not be issued a visa vignette in your passport and will not be required to collect a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) on arrival to the UK.

 
 
You should check your visa grant email to be sure that your visa has been granted online, this should include the wording Evidence of your immigration status can be accessed online.
 
 
If your visa grant email confirms you will be issued with a BRP, please refer to “I’m a new student, how will I receive my Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) 
 
 
Important to know: Don’t forget to check your visa for errors as soon as you receive it.
