All self-funding applicants are required to pay a minimum 50% deposit to study an undergraduate or postgraduate course at USW. If you are being sponsored, we will require a financial guarantee letter from your sponsor. If you are a sponsored student and require more specific details, please contact our International Student Advice Team.

Once a deposit has been made, and your CAS Shield has been completed and reviewed, a "Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies" (CAS) is issued. A CAS is a number that applicants require to apply for a Student VISA. Paying a deposit demonstrates your intention to be a student of the university. Full payment expected on arrival.

We have lots of accommodation options, so you can choose what suits you best. Our Accommodation Team will send you an email inviting you to apply once you hold a firm offer of a place on your course.

If you are a pre-sessional student and you have accepted a place on the course, you will be invited to apply. Though we do encourage students to contact the accommodation team directly as well, on [email protected].

International enrolment emails start going out from Thursday 15th August. Emails will be sent to students who hold a CAS.

If you have any questions about the VISA process, including what you need to submit, please get in direct contact with our Immigration Advice Service. 

You can email the team directly on [email protected]
