APPLICATION
Once the student has decided on the course, s/he must complete an application form as the first step of the application process. Students can simply complete this application form online or fill it out manually by printing a hard copy from the college website and return it to the college. The college recommends that the application form should be filled in student’s own handwriting.
REVIEW BY THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE
Once the college has received the application form and supporting documents, it will be checked by admin staff to ensure form is fully filled in and that all supporting documents are attached. The application will then be reviewed by the Academic Committee (AC) that comprises of Principal, Director. Based on information provided in application form, supporting academic and non-academic documents, diagnostic test and personal or virtual interview contents, the AC will determine the suitability of candidate for applied for course. The AC may ask for additional information or recommend a further Skype interview if necessary. All recommendations made by AC will be duly recorded.
MAKING AN OFFER
Once approved by the AC, the college will then make an unconditional offer by email and/or letter. Students can expect to receive a decision by an email on their application within 7 working days of us receiving their applications.
ACCEPTING THE OFFER
In order to accept an offer from the college, overseas students will be required to pay full or part of their tuition fees, as described in their conditional offer letter. Students can pay the full fee in advance as this will be considered a good example of their intent to study. Students are required to confirm acceptance by email, telephone, or through their agents.
CAS ISSUED
Once college has received the acceptance and tuition fee, student will be issued with a CAS (Confirmations of Acceptance for Studies). This will enable student to apply for a student visa.
STUDENT APPLIES FOR UK VISA
When students apply for the visa, they should include all the documents they can to show that they qualify for entry clearance to come to UK as a student. If they can’t, UKBA may refuse their applications.
The following items will usually be needed to be included with the complete visa application form. However, we recommend students to check with their respective British High Commissions for additional requirements.
- A valid passport
- Two passport-sized photographs
- The final letter of acceptance of studies (CAS) from the college confirming enrolment on the chosen course, the start and finish dates of the course and the payment of tuition fees. Although this letter can be issued on payment of the registration fee and appropriate deposit, intending students are strongly advised to pay the full course fees in advance.
- Confirming that all tuition fees and living expenses will be met during the student’s stay in the U.K via financial statements or a letter from a sponsor.
- Students on courses of more than 9 months’ duration will be required to evidence sufficient funds to pay the first year of fees only, plus £7,200 (London) or £5,400 (outside London) to cover a typical academic year in the UK (i.e. 9 months).
- Confirmation and details of accommodation in London.
- Provisional date of departure and flight details.
FINAL REGISTRATION
Once visa is granted to enter the UK, the student is encouraged to inform college as soon as possible. If a student fails to inform college and also fails to complete enrolment within 10 working days of the specified enrolment date, a No Show Letter will be sent to the student and student will be reported to the UKBA via SMS system.
