Visa or Leave to Enter/Remain
The type of visa is dependant upon whether you are already in the UK or applying from outside the UK.
If you are currently living outside the UK, you will need to apply for ‘leave to enter’ by visiting your nearest British Diplomatic Mission/British Embassy/High Commission.
If you are currently living in the UK, you will need to apply for ‘leave to remain’.
If you are applying for a visa against a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)
When you apply for your visa, you will need to present the CoS (this is a reference number which the University will email to you) and satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer in the British Diplomatic Mission/British Embassy/High Commission that you meet the requirements of the Points Based System with reference to ‘maintenance’ and ‘English Language Skills’. Please visit our Visa Guidance pages for more information.
The University will meet the cost of the CoS but it is your responsibility to meet the application fee for your visa.
