Undergraduate study

City St George's accepts A-levels, International Baccalaureate (IB) and a wide range of overseas qualifications. Grade requirements vary by course and are indicated on our course webpages.

Applicants who do not meet the standard admissions requirements for direct entry can undertake a preparatory pathways programme which will prepare them to study at City City St George's.

Students whose first language is not English are required to demonstrate that their English ability is sufficient to undertake degree-level study. In addition, all students requiring a visa to study in the UK must demonstrate their English proficiency as part of the visa application process.

English Language requirements vary by course and can be found on individual course webpages.

You can find the full list of accepted English language qualifications on our website.

Please note: the scores listed here are the minimum requirements for a Student visa and some courses have increased English language requirements for entry so please refer to course pages for specific English Language requirements or contact the International Student Recruitment team for further advice.

Most international students, including EU nationals who have not applied for the EU Settlement Scheme, require a Student visa to study in the UK.

City St George’s International Student Advisers are on hand to provide expert and confidential advice on visas and immigration through the decision-making and application process, as students plan their travel to London and for the duration of their studies.

Students can apply for a Student visa up to three months before the start of their course, once they have been issued with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).

They will receive this once they have accepted an unconditional offer from City St George's, passed the online Student Visa Module, and if required, had their financial documents checked.

Please note:

• The CAS process is initiated by staff members in the Admissions team. The Visa team check financial documents and make the final checks. Therefore is it recommended that agents check the status of the CAS with Admissions staff in the first instance. Please remember to add the student's ID number and full name in the subject heading of emails you send to the Visa and Admissions teams.
• The Student Visa Module must be completed by the student – another person, including an agent, cannot do this on their behalf.

Student visa applications can take up to six weeks to be processed so we recommend students apply in a timely manner. Read more about visa requirements and the application process.

City St George's Accommodation team can help students find suitable accommodation in one of our modern and newly refurbished halls of residence located within easy reach from the Clerkenwell (main) campus.

With dedicated halls for undergraduate students, there is a range of choices available from self-contained studio flats to options with shared kitchens and/or bathrooms. Students can expect to pay between £195 and £306 per week.

City St George's operates a Guarantee Scheme for first-year undergraduates. On meeting the conditions, this Scheme guarantees students a place in one of City St George’s affiliated halls provided students firmly accept via UCAS an unconditional or conditional offer on a full-time course at City City St George's, their permanent home address is must be outside Greater London travel zones 1-6, and apply for accommodation before the deadline (end of June).

Alternatively, there are many private providers of student accommodation in London, several of which are also located very close to the main campus. Students can also consider renting a flat or shared house privately. Read more about private accommodation.
