As an international student, you will need a student visa to study at the University of Wolverhampton International Study Centre. This page provides all the essential information you need to navigate the visa application process smoothly. Whether you’re applying for a student visa or need guidance on creating your UKVI account, we’ve got you covered.
Before you can apply for a UK student visa, there are important steps you need to complete. One of the first is obtaining a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the University of Wolverhampton International Study Centre. This is a unique reference number you’ll need to include in your visa application.
An Integrated CAS covers the full duration of your studies, including both the pathway programme and the degree programme, allowing you to study on one visa without needing to reapply between programmes.
Eligibility assessment:
You must complete a Pre-CAS interview to allow us to assess whether your chosen course meets the visa requirements and whether you fulfil the criteria to study in the UK.
Financial requirements:
You must demonstrate that you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses while in the UK. The exact amount will depend on your course and location.
Academic qualifications:
Ensure that you have the necessary qualifications to meet the entry requirements for your course.
English Language proficiency:
You’ll need to prove your English language skills, either through recognised qualifications or a test approved by the University of Wolverhampton International Study Centre.
Once these checks are completed, the University of Wolverhampton International Study Centre will issue your CAS, and you can proceed to apply for your visa.
To apply for your visa, you must first create an account with the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) service. Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to track your visa application and manage all correspondence related to your visa process.
