Registered Traveller is the UK equivalent to Global Entry. If your son has been to the UK 4 or more times in the last w years he can ask for the application (or take one from the display unit) when he goes through immigration. Once you have it you get to go through the UK/EU channels. £70 for the 1st year; £50 to renew.

pro tip: take as little “stuff” as possible- unless you are paying for vac rental, he will have to move out at the end of every term (and even if you are paying for vac they often have to move to different rooms). UK students don’t tend to take as much stuff to college, and you really can get everything you need locally (Argos is handy).
