If you are applying for your Student Visa outside the UK you will need to start your preparations well in advance. You will need to meet the eligibility criteria set by the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions relating to getting your CAS please email the\u00a0Admissions Team<\/a>.<\/p>\n To be eligible for a Student Visa (Student Route), you need 70 points under the Home Office Points Based System (PBS).<\/p>\n You can read the full guidance by visiting –\u00a0\u00a0www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/guidance-on-application-for-uk-visa-as-tier-4-student<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\tClick on the drop downs below to find out about applying for a student visa outside of the UK\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat do I need to apply?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t
