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.

Have you applied through an Educational Agent?

If yes, don’t worry there is nothing else you need to do for the time being, leave the rest up to your agent. We will get in touch when we need something from you.

If you wish, you can track your application process and communicate with your agent and university using application notes. You should have received your credentials and can access your application at centurusone.com.

Please note the following information:

1. If you are applying directly to the University or through an agent, Wrexham University or its agents do not charge application fees for any of its programmes.

2. Accommodation offerings are a separate application process and are not a condition of acceptance of a place at the University.

Should you have any concerns regarding your application or if you wish to submit any concerns please email complaints@wrexham.ac.uk in the first instance.
