Before you arrive

You’ve received an offer, what next?

Applying and receiving an offer is the start of your journey to study with us, there are a few more steps you need to take before we see you on campus.

Important things to do before you arrive

A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is a unique reference number which confirms you have been accepted on a course of study in the UK. It is required for your Student visa application. You can apply for your CAS up to six months before your course start date (three months if you are in the UK).

a. Book and take your Readiness Check (if required)

b. Pay any fees due - check the information in your payment plan in your offer letter

c. Provide any outstanding documents - your insurance information, emergency contact details, any study gap information (if applicable), living arrangement confirmation form and previous UK Visa history (if applicable)

d. Receive your CAS preview. Sign and return it

e. Submit your financial or bank documents - you must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

Once you have received your CAS you can apply for your visa and take your UKVI interview (if required).

If you have requested accommodation on your application form, our Central Student Services Team will contact you directly regarding the options available. 

Should you choose to book your own accommodation independently, we suggest you live close to the campus so you can make the most of your student experience. It is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are living less than a 60-minute commute away from the Sugar House Island in Stratford.

Receive your visa and book your travel. When booking your travel, make sure you arrive before your first day of term, so you don’t miss our valuable induction programme. Accommodation booked with the University of Huddersfield - London is usually available two days before the start of term.

StudyCare Insurance is specifically designed for international students’ needs during your studies at the University of Huddersfield - London.

Our insurance cover is available for up to 12 months. It covers travel to the UK, loss of personal possessions as well as providing health and medical insurance.

In your first week, you will take part in orientation activities and get to know the people and places around you. These normally include tours, networking events, information talks, and team games. You will receive further information when your place at the University of Huddersfield - London is confirmed.

Important deadlines for your CAS

You must submit your CAS and have them approved by the below published deadlines, at the latest.

Please note that these CAS deadlines are based on standard visa processing times for each country. If you miss the standard CAS deadlines, you must confirm that you will use a priority visa service before the CAS is issued, otherwise you will be deferred to the next available intake.

Your CAS will be issued by Study Group.

Here are three simple steps to find your deadline to be CAS ready: 

  1. Find your programme and start date in the left-hand column
  2. Look for the country you are applying from, not your nationality. For example, if a student is from Angola but is a resident in France, then the deadline is the date above France in the table below
  3. The deadline to submit your CAS will be the date above the country you are applying from.
