The CAS deadline for our September 2025 intake is 8 August 2025 and the deadline for our January 2026 intake is 19 December 2025.
For most courses, we continue to accept applications provided we have space available on the course. There are a few exceptions, so please check the relevant course page for details.
If you require a student visa, we can only start preparing your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) after we receive your deposit. It usually takes up to 5 working days for deposits to clear. Whilst we don’t have a strict deposit deadline, the earlier you are able to pay, the sooner you can receive your CAS and apply for your visa.
Even before you pay a deposit, you can start preparing your visa documents, so that after you make your deposit payment, you can receive your CAS quickly. Find out how best to prepare on our visa page.
CAS issuing deadlines are set in line with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) processing times and may vary depending on the country you’re applying from. As we approach the intake we will be reviewing turnaround times so please check this page regularly for further updates.
If you apply or pay a deposit late and are unable to provide your offer/CAS documents in time to join the January intake, we can defer your application to the next intake. Some of our courses are offered in May as well as September.
An Early Payment Discount (EPD) of £1,000 is available to new international students starting a full time taught undergraduate or postgraduate course if tuition fees are paid in full by the Friday before the start of teaching (see below dates). For 2025/26 starters, this discount can be combined with other scholarships.
To apply this discount, simply pay your total first-year fee, minus the £1,000 EPD and the value of your scholarship (if applicable) by the deadline.
