To apply, you will need
to submit a college application form
click
here to download one enclosing copies of your qualifications. For courses at all levels,
the college may accept you unconditionally; this will
mean that you have shown yourself - on your application
form - to be capable of benefiting from the course and
of completing it successfully. The College may also
respond to your application by making you a conditional
offer. This may mean that you must first complete your
current course and/or that you must first obtain certification
of your English Language competence. Your competence
in English, spoken and written, is an important feature
of your application and is normally measured by the
IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge tests.
If you are applying
for one of our academic courses then the deadline for
receipt of your application is 30th May before the start of your course or it may not
be processed in time for you to obtain a visa.
If you are applying for a
chef course you should also include a relevant job reference and a personal statement of 200 words describing your cookery experience and explaining why you want to take the course.
Westminster Kingsway College is a licensed sponsor for Tier 4 (student visa) applications. If you require the college to support your visa application then the full fee for your course is payable to the college before a visa letter or CAS certificate can be issued. This must be paid by bank draft, credit card or by bank transfer to the College bank account. If your application for a visa is unsuccessful, the fee you have paid will be refunded to you less £50 for administration costs. Additionally, proof of sufficient maintenance funds, for the duration of the study period, is required. No refunds can be made once a visa letter or CAS has been issued. (See Fees for further information).
The minimum English Language ability level for our academic courses is Cambridge First Certificate Grade B, TOEFL 550 points or IELTS 5.5. Otherwise you will have to study for a longer period in order to be of sufficient standard to continue to the further studies of your choice, such as Foundation Degree or A-Levels.
Students who come from
outside the EU should first obtain an application form
