UK & Irish students

If you're a UK or Irish student, you'll receive information about registration when you have fulfilled all of the conditions of your offer. Find out more information on the registration process for UK and Irish students.

EU & international students

If you're an EU or international student, you’ll receive information about registration when you have met all of the academic and administrative conditions AND you have received your CAS and submitted your visa application.  

An ATAS clearance certificate will be a mandatory requirement for some postgraduate students in science, engineering and technology.

Find out if you need an ATAS certificate.

If you're coming to the UK from a country with a high incidence of tuberculosis (TB), you can check on the UK Government webpages if you will require a TB test. There is also a chance that you will be checked for TB on arrival at the airport in the UK. Please note that a negative TB test is a mandatory document in the Student visa application and not just for travel.

Shortly before the start of your course, you’ll be sent registration information by email, this will contain login details to access your University account and complete your registration. It is important that you read all of the information contained in the registration email. Please note, Student visa holders can complete the majority of registration online but cannot register fully until arrival in the UK and upon presenting immigration documents to the University.

Find out more information on the registration process for EU and international students.
