We started issuing CAS in support of visa applications from 01 June onwards. If you have not received the email regarding how to request your CAS, please contact pgadmissions@courtauld.ac.uk immediately.

You cannot typically apply for a student visa before 16 June (3 months prior to your start date) within the UK as your visa will be refused. We can only issue your CAS once your offer is considered Unconditional.

Further details about applying for a student visa, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/student-visa

For general guidance on student immigration, please go to www.ukcisa.org.uk

If your offer is conditional, we require proof of your qualification(s). Please email a copy of an original final, official transcript to ugadmissions@courtauld.ac.uk or pgadmissions@courtauld.ac.uk by 15th August.

Please retain your original transcript as we may require this during Enrolment, even if you have already supplied an electronic copy of your transcript as part of your application.

This does not apply to students who are currently taking A or AS levels.

We cannot issue you a CAS in support of a visa application if you have not provided proof of passing your English Language Proficiency exam. Although you have until 15 August to supply your English Language Proficiency exam results, we would advise that you take the exam sooner so your visa application is not delayed.
