Key dates

Public universities ask visa applicants to apply by about the end of February (30 April for others). Private hospitality schools, like our partners, have several intakes and take applications until about 3 months before each.

These are the usual latest dates for students who need a visa. Sommet Education may close a course earlier when it fills, or accept later applications while places remain: an adviser confirms the date for your course.
