We simply just need to know if you intend to take up your place, even if you haven’t met the conditions of your offer yet.
To accept or decline an offer of a place, you should reply online following the links through the Postgraduate Applicant Portal. This should be completed as soon as possible, ideally within 14 days from receipt of your offer letter.
If you are a conditional offer holder, your place is still here for you. Please upload scanned copies of your final transcript and degree award certificate, along with your English language qualification (if appropriate) to the My Applications section of the application portal. Where applicable, confirmation of your qualifications must be officially translated into English. This will enable us to process the required documentation in preparation for your enrolment and send you information details for your visa application.
Please submit your results even if you have not exactly met the condition(s) of your offer, as it may be possible to exercise some flexibility if places are available.
If you cannot upload documentation through the application portal, email these to International Admissions (intl.student@qub.ac.uk) with your Name and Application number.
Self-funding international applicants holding unconditional offers for one-year postgraduate taught courses will be required to pay the standard £2,500 tuition fee deposit before a CAS can be issued.
Please note that if payment of a deposit is a formal condition of your offer in order to secure your place on a postgraduate course, payment will be required in order to uprate your offer to unconditional.
After you pay a deposit towards your fees, you will be issued with a receipt which you should present with your documents when you apply for your student entry visa to the UK.

CAS details will be required for visa applications and will only be issued by the University to those who have accepted unconditional offers and paid the relevant deposits (Postgraduate Taught Programmes). CAS details will not be issued earlier than six months before the start of your degree programme.
