What is the process if I decide to apply for the UK?
To apply for studies in the UK, first choose a course and university that match your goals. Once you receive an unconditional offer, the university will issue you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), which you need for your visa application. You’ll also need to show proof of funds to cover your tuition and living expenses, and demonstrate English language proficiency through exams like IELTS or by confirming your previous education was in English. After preparing these documents, you can apply for a UK Student visa online up to six months before your course begins. You will then attend a biometric appointment, and typically receive a decision in around three weeks. If successful, you’ll receive a digital immigration status (eVisa). If you need help at any stage, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
