Deadlines
If you require a Student visa, you will need enough time in order to get your CAS, apply for your visa, receive a visa decision and travel to the UK. We therefore set different deadlines during the year to ensure you have enough time to arrive and start your programme in good time.
We publish deadlines for deposits, CAS issuance and arrival around 6 months before the intake (or 3 months before the intake for January and April starters).
After accepting your offer
Once you have accepted your offer, you will be invited to our CAS Shield system via email, where you’ll need to create an account and request a Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS) for your Student visa application. Find out how to get your CAS here.
