Deposits and tuition fee payments should be paid in your local currency through our partner Flywire. Various payment options are offered through Flywire depending on the country the payment originates from, including bank transfer and credit/debit card.

On receipt of your deposit and providing you have met all academic conditions, you will be sent a UKVI Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. You will need your CAS to apply for your Student Route student visa. We issue CAS from March onwards - please ensure you make your visa application without delay.
