Students coming in to the UK from overseas will require a visa.
You will find information on the Government website on whether you need to apply for a visa.
If you do, you will need a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies) number, which is an electronic document containing a unique number for inclusion in your visa application. You will need to have accepted your unconditional offer and paid your tuition fee deposit.
Once you have applied for your visa, you may be called for an interview. They will want to know that your English is up to a suitable standard and may ask you questions about why you chose to study in the UK and at Stirling. We always recommend that students from overseas apply as soon as they can, but CAS information is only issued three months before the start of the new academic year.
You will find some useful information for applicants from the UK Council for International Student Affairs.
