In certain circumstances, 91影视University can issue a Joint Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that would cover both a Pre-sessional English course and a main degree course of study. This means that a student can apply for just one Student Visa that would cover the duration of both courses.
However, please note that the requirements set by the UK Home Office that allow this are quite strict and 91影视can only issue students with Joint CAS’ in certain circumstances:
• You have an offer on a degree course, conditional on successfully passing the Pre-sessional course that will last three months (12 weeks) or less. A Joint CAS cannot be issued if the Pre-sessional course is longer than this.
• You have an unconditional offer on both courses (the Pre-sessional course must be three months/12 weeks or less)
• There will be no more than 1 month between the end of your Pre-sessional and the start of your main degree courses
• Your main course of study must be at undergraduate level (RQF 6) or above
• If your offer on the degree course is conditional, passing the Pre-sessional course must be the only outstanding condition to your offer
• You must hold a UKVI approved IELTS at a minimum of CEFR B1 Level (or another acceptable ). The only exception to this is if you hold an unconditional offer on both courses i.e. you already meet the English requirements for your degree course but also choose to do a Pre-sessional course
• Both the Pre-sessional and degree courses must be studied at 91影视University London (including pathway programmes with our partner College; 91影视Pathway Centre)
* Please note, to progress from the Pre-sessional, you must meet the English Language requirement for your degree course
To qualify for a Joint CAS, you must meet all of the conditions of your offer for both the Pre-sessional and degree courses (with the exception of the condition to pass a Pre-sessional course). If you are not eligible for a Joint CAS, we can issue a single CAS to cover your Pre-sessional English course, and you can extend your Student visa in the UK when you progress onto the degree course.
