Once an international student fulfills all academic conditions and the pre registration deposit has been paid the university will arrange with the UK Border Agency for a CAS Number.
This is an electronic reference number which international students require for their student visa.

January Intake
• Majority of major competitors have their second intake in early February
• With the University of Greenwich intake we have continual problems with students who do not obtain their visa in time to commence the programme. University & High Commissions closed over Christmas & New Year
• The later the January intake start date the better• Undergraduate programmes commencing in January• Coventry & Bedfordshire have 4 entry points a year
