Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
If you have accepted your offer and have met all the conditions, your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number will be sent to you by the University Admissions department. You will receive this in an e-mail, which will be sent to the e-mail address you provided when you applied.
If you applied through an educational agent, they may have created an email address for you, or used their own in your application. Please ask your agent to always forward any emails from the University on to you. Please also check your spam or junk folder, in case University emails are automatically filtered out by your provider.
Collecting your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP card)
Biometric Residence Permits or BRPs are secure ID cards which contain personal details and biometric information for those who have applied for permission to come to the UK for more than 6 months.
Your BRP card can be picked up from campus. You will need to make an appointment to collect your card.
