What happens after I apply?
We can only look at your application once we have received your application form and all supporting documents, such as your passport and qualifications, so please make sure you have submitted all the required elements listed within the ‘How do I apply?’ above.
You’ll then receive one of the following decisions by email:
Conditional offer – you still need to submit outstanding documents. Your place will be reserved until you meet the rest of the entry criteria.
Unconditional offer – you meet the entry criteria and have submitted all necessary documents. Your place will be reserved until you accept or decline your offer. If you accept, you may be required to pay a deposit to the institution which made the offer.
Alternative course – you do not meet the entry criteria for the course you applied for, but your application shows you are suitable for another similar course.
Reject – you do not meet the entry criteria. Where possible we will try to match you with an alternative course.

After receiving your unconditional offer- what will be next?
I’ve received an unconditional offer – what’s next?
After you’ve met all criteria and have received your unconditional offer, you’ll need to accept your offer. Here are some of the next things you will need to think about before moving to the UK:
- Deposit (international applicants only) – once you accept your offer to study , a deposit to confirm your place will be required as per your unconditional offer letter. It can usually take up to five working days for this to register on our system. You will then need to wait for your CAS letter to be sent.
- CAS – A CAS is a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies. The CAS is a very important legal document that you’ll need to apply for a visa, as the CAS letter will include your personal ID, tuition fee amount and outstanding amount to pay, and any scholarship information if applicable. Your CAS won’t be released until the deposit payment has been made.
- Visa (international applicants only) – once you have received your CAS letter, you’ll need to book a visa appointment with UK Visa and Immigration. The UK has strict immigration laws and students must explain the reasons for their visit and may have to provide supporting evidence.
- Travelling to the UK (international applicants only) – when you have received your visa, then you’ll be able to book your flight. We advise to not book any non-refundable travel arrangements until you have obtained a visa.When you arrive in the UK, the UK Border Agency will ask for your visa, CAS, passport and will also question you regarding your reason for entering the UK, so make sure you have all your documentation to hand. To help you travel from the airport to our campus.
- Arrive on campus (international applicants only) – from the time you arrive on campus, you’ll have two weeks to collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card from either the campus or a local post office. Your BRP card confirms your right to study or work in the UK and to any benefits to public services you’re entitled to.
- Fee payment and enrolment – the final stage is the payment of 50 per cent of your fees which is followed by enrolment. You will not be able to enrol until this has been paid. This can usually be done at the time of enrolment so there shouldn’t be any delay in starting your course. Once you have enrolled you’ll receive your timetable.
