英-桑德兰大学- Important Update About Our Forthcoming Intakes

AN UPDATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND

Dear Partner,

Further to our recent communication, we would like to provide an important update regarding the allocation of CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) for the upcoming intakes at our Sunderland campus.

February and March CAS Allocation Update

Due to unprecedented demand, we now have very limited availability of CAS for the February and March intake, and as such, we may not be able to issue CAS to students who are only now paying their deposits or do not yet have their financial documentation ready. As places are being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, we encourage your applicants to submit all required documentation as soon as possible to maximise their chances of securing a place.

Alternative Options

For students who are unable to secure a CAS for February or March, we kindly ask you to manage expectations and consider alternative intakes where we currently have more capacity. Applicants may wish to defer to our June, August, or October intakes (subject to course availability). The Sunderland campus offers a range of programmes with availability during these periods, and we believe this will provide a great opportunity for students to fully plan their journey to the UK and ensure all documentation is in place in time.

Scholarship Opportunities

Additionally, students who defer to the August intake or later will be eligible for our exclusive scholarship. We are offering a £5,000* tuition fee reduction for undergraduate courses and a £4,500* reduction for postgraduate courses. This offer applies to international students from eligible countries studying our on-campus undergraduate and postgraduate programmes (excluding foundation, EAP, or pre-masters courses). These discounts are available to new applicants for 2025/26 entry or those who have not yet made a deposit payment.

Please note that certain courses are excluded from this offer. For more information please refer to international scholarships and specialised grants, or to confirm eligibility, please contact us at international.office@sunderland.ac.uk.

Next Steps

For those still aiming for the February and March intake, please submit all application materials, including financial statements, as soon as possible to be considered. However, we recommend highlighting the June, September or October options as equally viable alternatives.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us manage this high level of demand. Should you or your students have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
