International students

If you are studying a course longer than 6 months, you will need to apply for a Student Visa.

If you are studying a course for 6 months or less, you will need a standard visitor visa.

Some nationals can enter the UK for up to 6 months without applying for a standard visitor visa prior to entering the UK whereas others are required to apply before they travel. If you are not sure, you can check if you need a UK visa.

You will be studying close to London and have easy access to the amazing culture, restaurants and theatre there.

When you study with us, you will join students from more than 25 different countries and develop skills that could take your career all over the world. We have links worldwide with partner institutions on student and staff exchanges, collaborative projects and wider research initiatives.

Student Visa

Once you have received Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the College you must apply and receive a student visa before the start of your course. You cannot enter the UK before your student visa start date. Information on the visa process and documents required can be found here. You should read this page carefully to see what documents you need to provide as part of the application process.

Once you have submitted your application the college has no authority or access to check the status of your application, and you are responsible for informing the college of your visa application outcome

How do I receive a CAS?

Once you have met all conditions of your offer, including the English language requirements and the UKVI financial requirements we will assess your documents and issue a CAS once satisfied you meet the UKVI requirements for the Student visa application. See our Visa guidance for more information

English Language

If you require a student visa to study in the UK, you must provide evidence of your English language ability as part of the visa process. This can be met by completing a UKVI approved Secure English Language Test (SELT).

All students studying at an undergraduate and postgraduate level must obtain a B2 level on the CEFR scale. This equates to a minimum score of 5.5 overall and no less than 5.5 in each component for undergraduate students doing the IELTS for UKVI. Students applying for postgraduate studies, must obtain a minimum score of 6.5 overall and no less than 6.0 in each component on the IELTS for UKVI text.

See our Visa guidance for more information

Graduate Visa

The new Graduate visa will enable students who have successfully completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree to stay in the UK for a further two years.
