What sort of course do I need to apply for in order to obtain a Student Visa?

To obtain an adult student visa the course you apply for must be either Level 3 (A Level/National Diploma) or 4 (Degree) and must be a full time day course.

Once you have been offered a place we will inform you about the next step of the process.

PLEASE NOTE: the general rule is that an if you apply before May 2010 you will have a much better chance of getting a place for September 2010-we cannot ensure that late applications will be considered.

How much does it cost to study?

For the academic year of 2009/10 the following fees applied:
Full Time English Courses:  £3,650
Full Time Level 3 Courses: £4,450
Full Time Degree Courses: £6, 950

The above fees are for one full academic year and are subject to change for September 2010/11 academic year

How do I pay?

Once you are offered a place on the course you must pay a deposit with your acceptance document- the cost for 09/10 was £1010 but is subject to change for 2010/11.

You would then need to pay the balance in full on enrolment.
Failure to do this will result in you not being able to enrol.
