Visa information for students from Nigeria
All Nigeria nationals who wish to study in the UK will need to apply for a study visa before they are eligible to enter the UK and begin their programme of study.
Our West Africa Office in Lagos can provide you with detailed information about how to apply for a UK visa, and can advise you on all the necessary documentation you will need to submit with your application:
Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number
Once you have accepted and met the conditions of your offer of a study place, we will contact you to issue you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. This replaces the previous system using Visa Letters. You will need to use this CAS number in your application for a study visa to come to Sheffield.
