  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 note that you need to confirm as soon as possible to ensure that you have a place in one of the recommended Halls of Residence
  6. Upon receipt of your payment we will reserve a place for you in University accommodation
  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 – you will be met at the airport if you have booked a taxi transfer - to settle into your on-campus accommodation

Application Deadline

Places at the ISC fill up fast so we recommend you get your application in as early as possible, and at least a month before the start of your programme.

Please note that the visa application process can cause delays to your admission.

Subject to availability we will allow students arriving up to two weeks after the course start date in order to allow for the sometimes lengthy visa process.
