International Students
If you are classed as an International Student for immigration purposes, you will need to obtain a Student Visa to allow you to study in the United Kingdom.
What type of Visa do I need? (flowchart)
For courses which are longer than 6 months, you will need to apply to the UK Borders Agency (UKBA) for a Tier 4 Student Visa which will enable you to study at the University of Salford.
You need to submit a valid Confirmation of Acceptance to Study (CAS) Reference Number as part of the Tier 4 Student Visa application. This is an electronic reference number which is required as part of your application form.
Note: Under UKBA guidance, the University of Salford does not provide a hard copy document with the CAS Reference.
These pages explain the CAS Reference number in further detail and also provide assistance with the visa application process.
