Ravensbourne Tier 4 Application Guide 1 | Page 2

Applying to Ravensbourne Ravensbourne offers everything you could want from your design or media course whether at undergraduate or post-graduate level. There’s its state-of-the-art building on the Greenwich digital peninsula in London. There’s its creative and innovative teaching with plenty of ties to industry. There’s the cutting edge facilities and technology that students will be taught to operate, as well as the Central Loan Resource which is packed with equipment such as cameras and laptops that students can borrow to develop their projects. International students have always had a strong presence at Ravensbourne – last year’s undergraduates came from 94 different countries. And each year we hope to welcome many more. To be one of these students, you will first need to find the right course for you, check the entry requirements, review the fees – and look at the scholarships available. You will also need to research whether you will need a special visa to study in the UK, known as a Tier 4 student visa. You will then need to submit your application including your portfolio and personal statement by the required deadlines and if you meet the initial requirements, you will be given an interview either in person – if you’re already in the UK – or via Skype. The process doesn’t end with the offer of a place, as you still have to meet any conditional requirements before you receive your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) which you need for your Tier 4 student visa application. This leaflet is designed to give international students all the information they need to help them through the admissions process and where it cannot answer all your questions, it points you towards the relevant section on the website. Throughout the process you can also contact the dedicated International Admissions Team at Ravensbourne who can help to answer any questions you might have.
