Country of residence and nationality
All ISC programmes are only available to overseas students. Home/EU students are not accepted.
Home/EU students include the following categories:
- Permanent residents in the UK who have been resident in the UK for three years
- EEA (European Economic Area) migrant workers and their families in the UK who have lived in the EEA for three years
- EU nationals and their children who have lived in the EEA for three years
- Refugees (recognised by the UK government) and their families
- People who have applied for asylum and have been granted leave to enter/remain, and their families
The rules on whether you are classified as a ‘home’ or ‘overseas’ student are strictly defined by the British Government; universities do not have discretion.
Additional English Language Preparation
If students don't meet English language requirements for the programme they want to enrol on at the ISC, they can take 1-2 terms of intensive English Language Preparation (ELP), or, in the case of Pre-Masters, English for Pre-Masters (EPM), delivered at the International Study Centre.
