Visas: international students and UK entry clearance
General information
If you are not a UK or EEA national, please contact your local UK Embassy/High Commission for student visa requirements. In many cases, it is important to allow yourself a significant amount of time for the visa to be arranged, as processing times may be as high as six months in some cases. For details of your local embassy, please visit www.fco.gov.uk, and look for ‘UK Embassies Overseas’.
Please note that the only document you will require from City University is our letter of Unconditional Offer. The UK Embassy/High Commission will not accept any other evidence from us, and it is your responsibility to provide the rest of the supporting documents. For details of evidence required, please visit www.ukvisas.gov.uk
Distance learning courses
International students on the distance learning MSc Geographic Information Management and the distance learning MSc Geographic Information Systems will not require a visa as the course is studied whilst you remain in your home country.
