How to Apply?

If you're coming from outside the UK, you'll need a valid Student Visa before classes begin.

The requirements are:

• Valid passport
• First, get a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed student sponsor.
• You also have to show financial proof: enough to cover your course fees, plus £1,529 a month if you’ll live in London, or £1,171 a month for anywhere else, for up to nine months. The money has to be in your account for 28 days straight.
• English language ability sufficient for your course
• Immigration Health Surcharge payment

You should apply up to 6 months before the course starts. Decisions usually take 3 weeks.

The application fee for the student visa is GBP 558. In addition to that fee, there is also a GBP 776 fee per annum for the IHS, which should be paid at the time of applying.
