How to apply to study at Gower College Swansea

If you know which course you would like to study at Gower College Swansea then please follow the steps outlined below. If you need more information or would like to talk to someone in the International Office then please don’t hesitate to contact us by telephone (++ 44 (0) 1792 201290), fax (++ 44 (0) 1792 205496) or email (international@gowercollegeswansea.ac.uk).

Step 1: Application stage

Post, fax or email your completed application form to the Gower College Swansea International Office. 

You will still need to post to us the following:

A passport-sized photograph of yourself
Copies of all qualification certificates and English translations

Step 2: Conditional offer letter stage

After receiving and considering your application, the College will issue a conditional offer. The conditional offer letter will state what you have to do in order to be accepted for unconditional enrolment at Gower College Swansea.

Step 3: Confirmation Stage

If you would like to accept our offer please inform us as soon as possible. As soon as you have met the conditions of your conditional offer and paid your 20% deposit, you will be sent an unconditional letter stating that you have been accepted as a student at the College. You will need to use this letter when you apply for your student visa from the British Embassy or High Commission in your country. We advise you to apply for the student visa as soon as possible.

Step 4: Information pack

We will send you a detailed information pack which will help you with your arrangements for coming study in the UK, including information about applying for a visa and useful tips and facts about studying, working and living in the UK.

The pack will also include an accommodation booking form. You will need to complete this form and send it in to International Office as soon as possible with your £50 administration fee so that accommodation can be arranged for you.

Step 5: Nearly there

We will confirm your accommodation arrangements and send further details about collecting you from the airport and bringing you to Swansea College. Please let us know your flight details as soon as possible so that we can make these arrangements (we must have at least 3 working days notice so that we can do this).

Step 6: Welcome

International Office staff will meet you on your first day at the College – we are looking forward to meeting you!
