The application process varies depending on the type of course you're applying for. You may be required to provide documents to support your application. Please note that the UK Border Agency (UKVI) requires a fully certified original translation for each document you provide that is not in English or Welsh.
We advise you to apply as early as possible to maximise your chances of success. You should also take into consideration the time it takes to obtain visa clearance and make any other arrangements you need to before a lengthy stay in the UK.
There are three ways to apply:
1. Direct to the University
You’ll need to complete an online application form and submit it, along with scans of your original academic transcripts and certificates.
You’ll also have to complete the Equal Opportunity section, which is required by UK law.
To directly apply, Find a course and head to the how to apply section.
2. Through a country representative
Our in-country representatives can help you make your application and apply for a visa, as well as offering important advice on travel, living in the UK and studying abroad.
Applications will be considered at any time up until the course start date, although we advise you to apply well in advance to allow plenty of time to arrange your visa, accommodation and deal with any other issues ahead of your studies in the UK.
3. Through UCAS (Undergraduate courses only)
If you’re applying for an undergraduate degree or a Higher National Diploma (HND), you can apply through the UK’s Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
You can request a printed form from your school or nearest British Council office.
There is a charge for applying through UCAS - please see the UCAS website for full details and methods of payment.
