Visas and immigration

If you come from a 'visa national' country, you will need a General Student Visa to study in the UK. For information on visas, how to apply, guidance notes and application forms, please visit the UK Border Agency website.

• For detailed help and support see our Pre-arrival guide (PDF - 4MB)

Applying for CAS

• BPP University College will issue Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) for the General Student Visa
• Our UKBA sponsor licence number is: DF1GYYNR3.
• Please provide original(s) of all the documents listed in the CAS with your visa application.

If you are refused a student visa, you have the right to appeal.

You will find more information on the visa-application process in our pre-arrival guide, which you will also receive with your offer. If you want to switch institutions in the UK, our presentation Switching Institutions in the UK- Immigration Requirements has valuable information for you.

Tier 4 student visas

Please remember that as an international student with a Tier 4 student visa you are subject to UKBA immigration control. This means, if you do not register on time and we have not been informed of a late arrival, we might be required to inform the UKBA.
