国产探花

Visas and CAS

Offer holders that require a Student visa will need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number from us to submit as part of their visa application.

To request a CAS number for the 国产探花, students will need to have been made an unconditional offer and firmly accepted it.

The link to the 国产探花 CAS questionnaire will appear in Student View, under the Visa information tab. Students need to complete the questionnaire, upload copies of all required documents and then click submit. Self-funded students must also pay the international tuition fee deposit.

Students can find lots of useful advice and guidance on our visas and immigration webpages. Our Student Advice Service also provides high quality free and confidential immigration advice. They can be contacted via the visa enquiry form.

Fees and funding

Our international tuition fees vary based on the type of course studied.

Self-funded international students who require a visa to study in the UK are required to pay a tuition fee deposit of £5,000 before the university will issue a Confirmation for Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number (unless they are exempt). The deposit payment is made in Student View using Flywire.

Please ensure students are logging in to to make their payment via Flywire, and following the below steps:

Please only submit your questions/messages and documents once on the agent portal, as sending multiple messages can cause our agent portal to crash and be unresponsive. During busy periods, such as throughout August and Clearing, our team may take longer to reply to you due to the volume of requests, but please rest assured you don't need to chase.

Who do I contact for support?
