“Bloomsbury is the place for building careers, building confidence and making your life easier. I really enjoyed the modules in Business Management – particularly ‘Business Analytics’ and ‘Project Management’ – they are really rich modules.”

How international students apply to Bloomsbury in 6 easy steps
Step 1
Applicants select their course and complete the online application form. Our Admissions Team will review the application within one working day and make the applicant a conditional offer.
Step 2
The applicant (or their agent) will then need to upload scans of the following documents:
- Academic Certificates and Transcripts
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- English Language qualification or test results
- Letter of Recommendation (if details of a referee have not been provided in the application form)
- Passport
- Recent photograph
- MBA students will also be required to provide proof of 2 years of supervisory/ managerial experience.
Step 3
Once documents are approved, applicants will then be made an unconditional offer.
The unconditional offer is subject to the verification of the applicants’ documents.
Step 4
Once all verification is complete, the applicant (or their agent if applicable) are provided with access to ‘CAS Shield’. This is where all visa compliance stages are completed before we can issue the applicant a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
Step 5
Applicants will be asked to complete an online enrolment form; this confirms that they intend to study with us and allows us to issue their CAS. The CAS can then their be used to apply for a Student Visa through the UKVI website.
Step 6
We will send the applicant a date and time to attend Enrolment and Induction at our London campus; this usually takes place the week before term starts.
