All undergraduate courses start in September but we also offer some with a February start. We advise applicants to apply at least two months before the start of the course to allow plenty of time to apply for, and obtain a visa. On fulfilment of your other conditions, you will need to pay a deposit towards your fees. Before we can issue the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) required to apply for a visa, we will check your supporting financial documents to ensure that they comply with UKVI regulations and we will contact you to help prepare you for your visa application.
