As an international student, you will be asked to produce evidence of your ability to pay tuition fees and to cover living expenses during the course, either by means of a government scholarship or other award, or from private funds.

Under this system, you must demonstrate that you can achieve 40 points to obtain a visa; these are made up by 30 points awarded for a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), which is issued by the University as your educational sponsor, and the academic certificates used to obtain the CAS, and 10 points awarded for satisfactory
