Our application process

Follow our useful step-by-step guide to understand the application process before you begin.

1. Apply online

Firstly, complete our online application form. You are able to save your progress at any time and come back to it at a more convenient time. Remember that you’ll need to submit your application with enough time to organise your visa, which can take several weeks depending on where you live, so start as early as possible to make the process easier.

2. Be contacted by your advisor

If you meet the entry requirements, you'll receive a response from an expert team of specialist student enrolment advisors within 2 working days (Monday to Friday). They will talk you through your next steps and support you throughout the process.

3. Receive your offer letter

If your application is successful, we will then send you an offer letter and help you with the acceptance stage. Our offer letter will outline any conditions you need to meet and explain your fees and payment plan – which can be discussed with your advisor.

4. Confirm your offer

Confirm your place as soon as possible so you can get started on the planning process – including arranging your accommodation, visas and travel plans.

To confirm your offer, you will need to:

Check when your fees are due and how to pay them on our fees page.
