Play storyStart with the course and award
Compare the qualification level, modules, assessment and entry requirements on the university or college’s own course page. Confirm the campus and awarding body, especially where a programme is delivered with another institution.
Check whether your previous qualifications meet the course requirements and whether a foundation or pre-master’s route is involved. Ask for the complete duration and cost of the route you are considering.
Prepare your offer and CAS requirements
Read the conditions in your offer and ask what the institution needs before issuing a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. GOV.UK explains the Student visa route, including sponsorship, English and financial requirements.
Keep your passport, qualification evidence and institution correspondence organised. Check the current application instructions and document rules for your own circumstances before submitting an application.
Plan tuition, living costs and payments
Request the current tuition schedule and deposit/refund terms. Compare accommodation and everyday costs for the actual campus location; a London budget may differ from another city.
Check the official financial-evidence and payment requirements alongside your own living budget. Include insurance or health-related charges where applicable, travel, deposits and an emergency reserve.
Read the offer before you accept
Confirm the exact qualification, campus, start date, duration and any conditions. Ask for a written fee schedule and payment dates. Keep the offer and refund policy together so that you can compare options on the same basis.
Check who awards the qualification and whether it meets your academic or professional plans. Clarify any preparation course or additional assessment before paying a deposit.
Organise your application documents
Prepare your passport, academic certificates and transcripts, and the language evidence accepted for your chosen course. Check which documents need certified copies or translations. Keep your name and qualification details consistent across the application.
Make a checklist for each institution, including any statement, portfolio or references it requests. Keep copies of everything you submit and monitor the official application account for messages.
Budget for your first year
Compare confirmed tuition with accommodation, deposits, utilities, food, transport, insurance, travel and document costs. Ask which payments are refundable and when you need to make them. Check the costs for your actual campus location.
Keep your everyday budget separate from any official financial-evidence requirement. Include an emergency reserve and arrange viable funding before travel. Treat any scholarship as confirmed only when you have the written award terms.
Check permission, insurance and support
Use the destination’s official immigration instructions for your own study route and check any insurance or health requirements. Confirm the sequence with your institution before making travel arrangements.
Ask the international office about the conditions of your stay, including any limits on work, course changes or travel. Keep the academic and permission requirements together in your preparation checklist.
Prepare for arrival and your first semester
Confirm accommodation, airport or station transport, registration dates and the university’s arrival instructions. Keep your passport, offer, official approvals and institution contacts accessible while travelling.
Ask the international office about orientation, health services and any local registration steps. Understand your academic timetable and the conditions attached to your permission to stay before making work or travel plans.
