Cardiff Met has a policy of charging a deposit prior to admissions for overseas paying applicants. Those applicants requiring a visa to study in the UK will be required to pay a deposit as a condition of the release of their Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS).
Deposits are refunded for applicants that are not able to enrol and further information can be found at the following Applying to Cardiff Met Refund Terms and Conditions
If post enrolment students withdraw from a course, the university is obliged to report any Tier 4 visa holder to the UKVI.
