The application process
An expert Student Enrolment Adviser will support you through the whole process. Your admission to the International Study Centre will follow these simple steps:
1. Submit your application (either online, by post or by fax)
2. A Student Enrolment Adviser will contact you if we have queries about your application
3. We carefully review your application and check you have suitable academic qualifications and level of English language (you will be asked to complete our English Test if you do not have an IELTS or TOEFL grade)
4. If your application is successful we will send you a formal offer of a place
5. To accept your place you need to send us a confirmation payment. Please confirm as soon as possible to ensure you have a place in recommended Halls of Residence
6. You will then be sent instructions on how to book your accommodation directly through Lancaster University's online accommodation booking system: View Accommodation Application Guidelines here.
7. We will send you a Certificate of Enrolment, confirming that you have a reserved place at the ISC, and visa support documents.
8. You then need to apply for a visa if necessary
9. One month before the start of term you need to pay your remaining fees (either in full or your first instalment)
10. Before the start of your course we will ask you for details of your flight to the UK, and will send you confirmation of your accommodation.
11. You arrive in the UK the weekend before your programme starts to settle into your accommodation – you will be met at the airport if you have booked a taxi transfer.
Application deadline
We expect places at the ISC to fill up fast so recommend you get your application in as early as possible, and at least one month before the start of the course. However, subject to availability, we do continue to consider applicants right up to the start of the International Foundation Year. Please note that the visa application process can delay your admission.
