Student visa sponsorship

International applicants are welcome to apply to our English, history, languages and physics PGCE courses.

1. If you are successful and are made an offer to study train as a teacher in the UK, you will need to accept the offer and fulfil the conditions as outlined in your DfE Teacher Training offer.
2. Once this is completed, you will be issued with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to apply for your visa.
3. Once the CAS is issued you will be able to apply for a visa in your home country and will need to ensure that this is done promptly and allow for delays at embassies etc.

Any delays to this could impact you joining the course.
