The applicant (or their agent) will then need to upload scans of the following documents:

Academic Certificates and Transcripts

English Language qualification or test results
Letter of Recommendation (if details of a referee have not been provided in the application form)
Passport

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 thier CAS. The CAS can then then 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.
