By becoming a ULaw student, you will automatically become a member of our Students’ Union (SU). The role of the SU is to enhance your student experience both by representing your interests to the University and coordinating student clubs and societies, events and opportunities.
You will have access to join all the clubs and societies running on your campus and if you don’t see anything you like we can support you to create your own student led society around virtually any interest you may have. You can find the list of clubs and societies which are currently running on your campus on our website: What's On Your Campus? @ University of Law Students' Union.

Along with clubs and societies there is a wide range of other opportunities you get involved with. You can boost your CV through our Skills Development programme, where you can access a wide range of different free or heavily subsidised courses each semester ranging from mediation, mental health training, public speaking and sign language. You can also run in our elections to be a student representative giving you the opportunity to improve the student experience for your peers and future cohort.

Should you ever need it, you will also be able to access our free, confidential and non-judgemental advice service, where our independent advice coordinator can advise you on a wide range of matters which may arise during your time at the University.

To find out more about us and all the opportunities you can get involved with please check out our website: University of Law Students' Union.

Whether you are an international student already in the UK or moving from your home country to the UK, we are here to help you settle in and make your stay an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

It is important to be as prepared as possible, so you should allow yourself plenty of time to apply for your visa, arrange flight details, sort out accommodation and ensure that you have all the necessary travel and study documents you will need to show the appropriate authorities.

Pre-Departure Guide ➔

If you believe that you require a Student Route Visa in order to study with us at the University of Law you must complete the CAS process with our Student Immigration Compliance and Advice (SICA) department and familiarise yourself with our Student Visa Policy.

You can begin the CAS process once you have completed all of the following three actions:

1. Accept an unconditional offer
2. Complete the Visa Requirements Form
3. Make a deposit payment of £3,000.

Once these three steps are all complete SICA will contact you about the remainder of the CAS process and provide support and guidance. Deadlines associated with the process are available online. Please note that accepting an unconditional offer does not guarantee visa sponsorship. Do not commit to any accommodation, flight or other associated costs until you have a confirmed outcome to your visa application.

It is the responsibility of all students to ensure you have a visa covering the full duration of your course. If your visa application is refused, please send a copy of the refusal notice to International Student Advice ([email protected]) as soon as possible. We can then advise you further.
