1. Apply online
You can take as long as you need to complete our online application form. It’s easy to save your progress and come back to it later – just remember to save enough time to organise your visa, which can take up to several weeks depending on your location.

If you meet the entry requirements, you'll receive a response from an expert team of specialist student enrolment advisors within 2 working days (Monday to Friday). They will talk you through your next steps and support you throughout the process.

3. Receive an offer letter
If your application is successful, you’ll receive an offer letter from us. We will then talk to you about your next steps, explain any conditions you need to meet and discuss a payment plan for your fees.

We recommend you confirm your offer and secure your place with us as soon as possible. This way you have enough time to properly plan your accommodation, visas and travel plans.

To confirm your offer, all you need to do is pay a confirmation payment and return your signed acceptance form. You can find out more about paying your fees here.

After you’ve met the conditions of your offer letter and paid any other fees, your Student Enrolment Advisor will issue your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) – which means you're ready to start applying for your visa.
