International Postgraduate students - Your Offer Guide
We look forward to welcoming you in September 2025. Please follow these important next steps to secure your place at Queen’s.
Congratulations on receiving your offer! Please let us know if you intend to take up your place, even if you haven’t met the conditions of your offer yet.
To accept or decline an offer of a place, you should reply online following the links through the Queen's Portal. This should be completed as soon as possible, ideally within 14 days from receipt of your offer letter.
If you are a conditional offer holder, your place is still here for you. Please upload scanned copies of your final transcript and degree award certificate, along with your English language qualification (if appropriate) to the Queen's portal. Where applicable, confirmation of your qualifications must be officially translated into English. This will enable us to process the required documentation in preparation for your enrolment and send you information details for your visa application.
Please submit your results even if you have not exactly met the academic condition(s) of your offer, as it may be possible to exercise some flexibility if places are available.
If you cannot upload documentation through the Queen's portal, email these to International Admissions (intl.admissions@qub.ac.uk) with your Name and Application number.
Please note that applicants holding unconditional offers for postgraduate taught courses commencing in September 2025 will be required to pay a tuition fee deposit of between £2,500 - £6,000. Details of the exact amount required will be communicated to each applicant following the issue of an offer. For those applicants who require a CAS, this deposit must be paid before a CAS can be issued.
If your offer of admission includes a formal condition to pay a deposit in order to secure your place on the course, this payment should be made as soon as possible, in order for your offer to be uprated. Find out how to pay your deposit
Applicants who are required to pay a deposit as a formal condition of their offer, or in advance of receiving a CAS, should pay online by Flywire as indicated:
https://www.qub.ac.uk/Study/Feesandfinance/pay-tuition-fees/self-funded/
CAS details will be required for visa applications and will only be issued by the University to those who have accepted unconditional offers and paid the relevant deposits (Postgraduate Taught Programmes). CAS details will not be issued earlier than six months before the start of your degree programme.

New international students with unconditional offers to commence full-time courses in the academic year 2025/26 may receive a discount when paying their tuition fees in full by the appropriate deadline.
Students must be able to demonstrate their competence in English in order to benefit fully from their course of study or research. Non-UK/Irish nationals must also satisfy the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) immigration requirements for English language before the University can issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for visa purposes.
Please view the Coursefinder for details of the English Language requirements for entry to individual degree programmes.
