Visa Requirements: A Student Route visa is the type of visa that most international students at the University will need to obtain before they can start their course.

The University of Liverpool has a licence with the UK Home Office to sponsor international students for visa purposes. By issuing a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to a student, the University is stating that it wishes for the student to be granted a Student Route visa to study here. As a visa sponsor with a Student Route licence, the University has specific duties and responsibilities to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) for all of its international students holding any type of visa whilst in the UK.

Prior to applying for a Student Route visa, you need to be sponsored by the University for the specific course you want to study and you need to meet the requirements of the Student Route visa.
