How to apply

Before you apply

You can check if you meet the academic entry requirements for your chosen course by visiting your country page. If your country is not listed, please contact us at international@wrexham.ac.uk and we will be happy to help.

In most cases you will require a visa to study in the UK.

We advise international students to apply as early as possible to allow us sufficient time to process your application and to give you plenty of time to apply for your visa and make your travel and accommodation arrangements.

Students who require a Student visa should be aware of the following important dates:

Application stage

After applying

Once you have submitted your application:

• On successful completion of these checks and providing you meet all the academic and English language entry requirements, a conditional offer will be made.
• Once you’ve successfully fulfilled the conditions of your offer, Wrexham University’s Immigration Compliance team will be in contact with you to arrange a compliance interview.
• If your compliance interview is successful and the course fees have been paid, the Immigration Compliance team will then issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter.
• When you have received your CAS letter, you will then be able to apply for a Student Visa.

At Wrexham University, we want all our students’ application experience to be professional, straight forward and efficient. This includes students who are also applying through an agency. If you experience any difficulties or behaviour you feel is unprofessional when working with an agent, then please contact international@wrexham.ac.uk and put this for the attention of Daniel Griffiths – International Marketing and Recruitment Manager who will investigate this as a matter of urgency
