Payments must be cleared funds in the university’s account before the above deadline.
Please make your payments by debit/credit card through Convera - this is the quickest and most secure method and provides peace of mind that your payment has arrived in time. We advise all payments are made through Convera to avoid delays.

Step 3: Apply for your visa
In order to study, live and work in the UK you’ll need a visa. You will need to apply for this within three months of your course start date. It can be a long process, so please leave plenty of time.
The best place for you to choose to collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card from is Houndsditch Post Office (E1 7BS) which is a short walk from the campus.
Alternatively, you can choose to collect from Coventry University London campus. Our unique ACL (Alternative Collection Location) code is 2HE457. It is important that you do not choose to collect from Coventry University campus as you will experience delays with your enrolment and with receiving your BRP card.
