Attend an Interview (If Required)

Receive and Accept Your Offer
Offers can be conditional (you'll need to meet specific criteria) or unconditional (you've already met all the requirements). Once you receive an offer, you'll need to formally accept it via UCAS or the university's portal.
Apply for a Student Visa (Tier 4)
After receiving an unconditional offer and a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the university, apply for a UK Student Visa. Prepare documents like proof of financial means, CAS letter, and passport.

Secure accommodation early, either through university housing or private rentals.
Prepare for Departure
Attend pre-departure briefings, book flights, and finalize all travel and visa arrangements. Arrive in the UK 1-2 weeks before your course start date to settle in. This process requires careful planning and early preparation, so starting a year in advance is advisable.
