International applications

Application deadlines for the September intake course closure.

Due to high demand some courses may close earlier, this information will be available on the relevant course page.

Please note: to support diversity and the international student experience, we set country targets across all courses. Once we reach offer and acceptance targets for courses we may close or put on hold applications to certain nationalities. This information will be listed on the course page.

Please ensure you pay your deposit, or if you are a sponsored student, you have uploaded a copy of your sponsor letter or notified us of your sponsorship, by the 7 August. We may not be able to accept payments received after this date. See further details on payment.

All payments should be made through Flywire, we are unable to accept payments directly to the UWE Bristol bank account. Any payments received to our bank account will be returned which may impact on being able to join the course.

Please note that some of our courses have strict capacity. Due to this, we may have to close deposits prior to published deadlines. To ensure you don’t pay the deposit after this time, we will notify you of the situation and withdraw your place of study.

If you have a condition requiring evidence of English language ability as part of your offer, you may be eligible for a free UWE English Language Placement Test.

26 July will be the last opportunity to sit this test.

Please note that places are limited. For further information please email the International team at international@uwe.ac.uk.

For students travelling from non-low risk countries classified by UKVI, you will need to provide a bank statement as part of your visa application.

To make sure you meet the visa requirements, we will need to check this before we issue your CAS. You will need to have uploaded the bank statement through your welcome portal ready for our admissions team to check no later than the 11 August.

We recommend that you make sure you have the required funds in the bank no later than the 13 July so that they meet the requirements set by the UKVI.

Find more information about documents needed for your visa application and acceptable financial documents.

This is the latest date for CAS to be issued. After this we will only be able to issue in exceptional circumstances due to visa turnaround times.

You will need to have met all the conditions of your offer, paid your deposit (for deposit amount see International student payments) and provided any documents by this date to receive your CAS.

You must apply for your visa as soon as you receive your CAS to ensure you received your visa on time for the arrival dates shown below.

Useful information about applying for a UK student visa can be found on the UKVI guidance leaflet.
