Visas and Immigration
Visa advice
This section of our site provides detailed information on immigration issues relating to international students.
Please apply for your visa well in advance of your course start date. Many students fail to take up their place at the University because they leave applying for a visa until the last minute. 
Note to EU/EEA Nationals: Nationals of the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) may enter the UK by producing a valid passport or national identity card, and are able to study without restriction.
