Huge congratulations on your offer to study at UEA!
Now you have been offered a place to study with us, it’s time to get excited about your new adventure.
We can’t wait for you to join us, but until then you’re probably wondering – what's next?
Here are some of the things you need to consider before you arrive but most importantly - it’s time to accept your place!
Your next steps
If you haven't already done so, it's time to accept your offer.
If you are an international student you will need a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) to apply for a student visa. UEA will start to issue CAS letters from June onwards to students with unconditional offers who have paid their deposit.
Once you have accepted your offer you can find out the next steps you can take before you arrive at UEA, such as sending documentation or confirming your accommodation.
It's easy to accept your offer, log-in to the application portal and follow the instructions.
If you have any questions you can talk to our students, staff or arrange to meet one of our international team via the Questions page.
It’s time to think about funding your postgraduate degree.
At UEA, we believe finance should never be a barrier, so there are plenty of funding options available to you. You can also apply for our wide range of scholarships, which cover numerous courses, countries for international students and more – don't miss out.
Apply for your room at UEA before 31 July.
This gives you the best chance of gaining an accommodation offer and would ensure the guarantee of an offer for International Students.
When making your accommodation application, you will be asked to submit your room preferences in order of priority. Provided your form is submitted on time, you will receive your room allocation from early August.
When? By 31 July
International Students Only
International students are asked to pay a deposit towards tuition fees by 31 July.
This is required before we issue a CAS and ensures you have the guarantee of a UEA accommodation offer.
Please note that we require funds cleared in our account by the 31 July and that you should make your payment before this date if at all possible. Early payment of your deposit will allow for timely processing of CAS letters if you are eligible.
