Hey! I have applied in a postgraduate course for the January Intake. Its been more than 4 weeks since my consultant submitted the application. I haven't heard back from the university yet but I know that this is the busiest time in uk universities. But all the waiting is worrying me a lot because I will be a international student and there are so many things that need to be done before I start my course and I don't want to miss orientation or anything else. I just hope I get my offer letter soon.

Unfortunately, I am afraid we can not give updates out on the Student Room, if you would like an update on your application please contact the relevant admissions team.

Please note our admissions team have had a restructure and are using new email addresses. You can find our new contact details here: https://www.mmu.ac.uk/study/manchester-met-admissions

Hey,
I received a conditional offer on 23rd of September 2022, my course was eligible for international scholarship and i applied for the same. No update or response was received from the university. Furthermore, i applied for an unconditional offer on 27th October 2022 and subsequently no update on the same has been received. I am not able to get in contact with the international admission team neither through phone or email. If possible can you please provide an update.

Hi @Mehroz Ali

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide an update, all updates must come directly from the admissions team. We are not able to give updates on the student room as we are not the admissions team. Our admissions team are processing things as quickly as they possibly can and are currently receiving a high volume of enquiries and the team will respond to your email as soon as possible.

If you are asking about how to request your CAS, please ensure that you have paid your deposit or have confirmation of any funding and you hold an unconditional offer. Please complete the CAS request : https://www.mmu.ac.uk/study/international/when-you-have-an-offer/secure-your-place/apply-for-cas and return it to [email protected]

I hope this helps.

I’ve applied for sociology and criminology (foundation year) however I’m unsure of whether the tuition will be covered by student loans or not? I am not an international student but I haven’t had any help from my teachers either

Hi!

Typically, you are entiled to 4 years of Student Finance funding, therefore, your course with the foundation year should be eligible provided you meet the additional criteria for Student finance.

There are two main types of undergraduate student loans:

•

Tuition fee loans cover a university’s teaching charges.

•

Maintenance loans are designed to help cover living costs, including your accommodation.

Your eligibility for these loans - also called student finance - will depend on several things, including where you live, your personal circumstances and how you plan to study.

You can check your eligibility and how much loan you could get on the government website here: https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator

Who you apply to depends on where you have been living in the UK:

•

Student Finance England

•

Student Finance Wales

•

Student Finance Northern Ireland

•

Student Awards Agency for Scotland

The process and eligibility criteria varies between countries. I would recommend you visit the website for your country to find out the details for your country specifically.

There is also a student finance forum you can view on the student room here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=545

I hope this helps!
