CAS Process For PG Offer Holders
If you are an international student, you will need a student visa to study in the UK, and you’ll need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) before you apply for it. In this session, we have invited experts from our Admissions Team to unpick the CAS process and explain it to you in more detail. There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions during this session.
