International Student Applications and Guidance Notes
Once you have completed your application form, please email it to: Jan Hanley at j.hanley@bathspa.ac.uk
We will reply to your application with a decision either in the form of a letter or in an email attachment, so please ensure that the email address you provide is correct. More information regarding how to obtain a visa can be found on the UK Border Agency website.
Other Information
If you are applying for an undergraduate course, please ensure that you check with UK NARIC (the UK National Recognition Information Centre) whether or not your qualification is equivalent to UK A levels. Please also ensure that when you complete the UCAS application, you state your actual qualification titles, not the UK qualifications you think they are equivalent to. It is also possible that you will be asked to send a copy of the transcript of your qualifications.
If we decide to offer you a place, and if there is any indication on your application that you may be a full-fee paying student, the offer may be based on this assumption and also that you are required to pass IELTS 6.0 or the equivalent. This is so that we are able to process your application as quickly as possible. In the meantime, your application will be viewed for an evaluation to be made on your fee status by Registry. If there is insufficient information on your application for such an evaluation to be made, you will be sent a fee status assessment questionnaire. Either way, once an evaluation has been made we will be able to amend the condition of your offer if necessary.
Please read our English Language Requirement Policy to find out more about whether or not your English qualifications meet our entry requirements.
Please be aware that we are required to take a copy of your passport and visa at the point of enrolment. Further information about the new tier 4 visa system for non-EU students entering the UK can be found on the UK Border Agency website.
