Once you’ve viewed our course webpages and decided which course you want to apply for, you can apply either directly using our Applicant Portal or by submitting an application via UCAS.
Please note a direct application can only be used if you do not plan to use UCAS to apply to other institutions
3. Receive an offer
The Admissions team will aim to process your application as quickly as possible.
If your application is successful, you’ll be issued with a conditional or unconditional offer. If conditional, you will need to satisfy any remaining conditions before receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies. The CAS allows you to apply for your student visa.
[You will need to satisfy a number of conditions in order to receive your CAS. These can include: meeting English language requirements, paying a deposit, providing academic reports & references and submitting copies of your passport]
4. Apply for accommodation
You will receive information on how to apply for accommodation by email once you have paid a deposit and accepted the offer to study with us.
Our staff will be in touch regarding your accommodation application, and you’ll be allocated your room once your place has been confirmed. Alternatively, you can also book private or partner accommodation if you prefer.
5. Apply for a student visa
After you have received your CAS, you’ll be able to apply for your student visa which allows you to study in the UK. We recommend you allow enough time to complete your visa application – a lot of documentation is required and the process should not be rushed. You should also ensure you will have enough time to organise travel to the UK before your course starts.
