Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)
Immigration information for international students at the Institute of Continuing Education
Part-time courses at the Institute of Education require attendance at short teaching sessions in Cambridge (also referred to as residentials, workshops or day schools depending on the course). International students should be aware of immigration considerations to attend these sessions.
For most courses, students will be able to travel to the UK and attend the teaching sessions as a visitor to the UK. Information on coming to the UK as a visitor, including whether you need to apply for a visa in advance of travel, is outlined on the International Students website. Prospective students are also advised to check the visa information for specific course types outlined below.
In line with UK Home Office requirements, the University will be required to verify your status in the UK. You will be asked to present relevant documents, which will be retained for your record, prior to studying
If you already have UK immigration permission in another category, you may be able to undertake your course on that. You will need to provide evidence of this during the admissions process.
Please note: the University does not provide student visa sponsorship for part-time study undertaken at the Institute of Continuing Education.
Students must apply in sufficiently good time for the appropriate visa to ensure they are able to start and complete their course of study at the Institute of Continuing Education. Entry to the UK is at the discretion of UK Visas and Immigration and Border Force at the port of entry. The University cannot accept responsibility for decisions made by these government agencies.
