What happens next?

When will my course start?

Your offer letter will state the start and end date of your course. Most postgraduate taught programmes start mid-September. For any variations, please consult our online prospectus.

Am I entitled to apply for University accommodation?

If you are offered a place and are interested in applying for university accommodation you must submit an application to the Residential Services as soon as possible. You will only be able to firmly book your accommodation once you have accepted an unconditional offer of a place.

Can I have a letter to help me apply for a student visa?

If you are an international student we will automatically send you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) once you have formally accepted your unconditional offer. Ensure that you have uploaded a copy of your passport on your online application. If you do not receive your CAS within a week of accepting your unconditional offer, please email the Admissions Team.

Is there any extra help for international students?

In addition to your offer letter, International Students are sent details about the International Orientation Programme and the International student handbook. These can be accessed online through the International Office web pages nearer the start of term. You can also consult the SRC Guide which contains practical information about student life in Glasgow.

What happens after I have been accepted? How do I register?

Nearer the start of your course you will receive further information regarding your School Induction and your programme of study.

Students are required to pre-register online before arriving on campus. The University Registry will send details of your user name and password with information on how to access your student records. It is not possible to fully register (matriculate) without pre-registering. If you have any difficulties pre-registering contact: surfhelp@mis.gla.ac.uk
