Yes — US citizens now need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) to enter the UK since 2025. Costs £10, valid for 2 years, allows stays up to 6 months per entry.
Before 2025, US citizens entered the UK visa-free for up to 6 months. Since 2025, the ETA is mandatory.

For studies over 6 months, work, or long-term residence, a physical visa via UK Visas and Immigration is required.
