There are several important dates and deadlines for international students to be aware of. These dates include key stages of the application process through to the appropriate Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) processing and enrolment dates.
As an international student, it's important you read about these strict deadlines to ensure you don't miss out on the opportunity to study your chosen course. These deadlines are particularly important if you require a Student Visa to ensure you're able to apply for your visa and join your course in time.
Please note that depending on the visa processing times in the country you make your application, you may need to consider a priority application the closer you are to the deadline. This will help ensure you arrive in time for enrolment.
