If you have met all of the entry requirements for your course when you applied, we can make you an unconditional offer. You can skip to the next step.

If you are waiting for the results of further exams or language tests, we may decide to make you a conditional offer. If your offer is conditional, you must email evidence of meeting your offer conditions to our admissions team. Please refer to your offer letter for contact details.

If you have met the entry requirements and accepted your offer to study at Manchester Metropolitan, you must pay a £5,000 tuition fee deposit to request your CAS and secure your place.

Your payment should be made through Flywire, a secure pay online service. If you have an official financial sponsor, you will need to provide evidence of financial sponsorship instead.

For more information on how to pay your deposit, see our tuition fees pages. 

A CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) is a unique reference number you need in order to apply for a visa to study in the UK. Find out how to apply for a CAS. 

For information on applying for a visa, please check our visa and immigration guidance.
