Introduction
This section of our website has been compiled to act as a resource to help you plan for your arrival in the UK. If you need any further help or guidance, please do not hesitate to email the International Office, for lots of useful information about your arrival with us please download the following Pre-arrival Booklet (PDF 1MB).
Passports and visas
All students must have a valid passport for the period of study in the UK. Students from outside of the European Union will require a Student Visa. Information on a Tier 4 Student Visa can be found on the UK Border agency website (www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/studyingintheuk/) and for further advice on this, please check with the British Embassy or High Commission in your home country. Alternatively you can visit The Council for International Student Affairs (www.ukcisa.org.uk) website.
Please bring with you at least four passport-sized photographs. These will be needed for enrolment during Freshers Week.
