How to apply

Before you apply

You can check if you meet the academic entry requirements for your chosen course by visiting your country page. If your country is not listed, please contact us at international@wrexham.ac.uk and we will be happy to help.

In most cases you will require a visa to study in the UK.

We advise international students to apply as early as possible to allow us sufficient time to process your application and to give you plenty of time to apply for your visa and make your travel and accommodation arrangements.

Students who require a Student visa should be aware of the following important dates:

After applying

Once you have submitted your application:

• Once you’ve successfully fulfilled the conditions of your offer, Wrexham University’s Immigration Compliance team will be in contact with you to arrange a compliance interview.
• If your compliance interview is successful and the course fees have been paid, the Immigration Compliance team will then issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter.
• When you have received your CAS letter, you will then be able to apply for a Student Visa.
