All overseas students wishing to attend our Academy must have a valid international passport and many will need a visa before traveling to the UK. The British Government determines the list of ‘visa-national’ countries. Your nearest British Council office or British Mission (British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission) will be able to tell you whether you need a visa, also known as ‘entry clearance’. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office web site features a visa enquiry form where you can check if you require a visa and print off the required forms: www.ukvisas.gov.uk
Immigration and entry clearance:
If you are a Visa National, make sure you apply for entry clearance as a student and not as a visitor. Visa-National visitors are not allowed to extend their stay as students when they finish a visit. Once a student has been accepted by our Academy and has paid his/her tuition deposit, the Admissions Department will issue acceptance documents to be used for the visa application. Please contact the British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission in your country to find out which other documents are required.
Visa application procedure:
On the spot admission facilities are also provided in many countries by our staff during their overseas visit. As a part of the admission process. prospective students are given the opportunity for interviews and counseling. When registering, we ask students to complete the interview form with their subject interest. This gives students an opportunity to explain why they would like to take the course and indicate the way in which they would like to see their interests developing.
Documents:
When students decide to join the course, they need to complete our Academy’s application form and submit it to an authorised agent. The agent will then send the application form to the Academy’s Registration department for further processing. In addition, the agent will be required to supply our Academy with the following:
Photocopies of qualifications and references
2 passport size photographs
A deposit, which will be counted towards their course fees. The Academy will then issue you with a registration letter and other documents, which can be used by you as proof of your acceptance on the course.
The Academy reserves the right to limit the number of students admitted each year.
