Wolverhampton also runs a January intake for many taught Master's programmes, including computer science, data science, the MBA, cyber security and construction project management. Nursing and health courses are September only.
You need a Student route visa. Wolverhampton issues your CAS once you accept an unconditional offer and pay the deposit. Apply online up to six months before your course starts, showing proof of funds, and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge with the application.
