When your visa has been granted, you must travel to the UK within 30 days and collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP). You will choose your BRP collection point during your visa application, we recommend choosing Huddersfield Post Office.
Find help with applying for your visa on our immigration pages or you can contact our Immigration Team.
You must arrange your accommodation before travelling to the UK. Huddersfield has great housing options for students; book with our recommended and approved accommodation providers.
We strongly advise choosing accommodation in the Huddersfield area but if you choose to live outside of the town, ensure it is no more than one-hour public transport commute from the University.

We will also be available at Huddersfield train station, should you need any help. You will need to bring British pounds (Sterling) with you to pay for your train ticket or taxi fare.

Once you have received your unconditional offer from the University, you will receive three emails from enrolment@hud.ac.uk, from Monday 4 December asking you to begin the enrolment process. These will be titled stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3. Please make sure you have access to the email account attached to your application.
The three stages:
Stage 1: You will be asked to confirm your personal details on our online pre-enrolment portal, including your UK accommodation address and your UK phone number and to upload your photograph for your student card.
Stage 2: Once you have completed your online pre-enrolment you will be sent an email called stage 2 for when you arrive in the UK. This will ask you to book an appointment to complete your enrolment and collect your student ID card from the International Office in the Student Central building. You must bring your passport, BRP and visa decision letter to this appointment, as well as proof of your local address. It is very important that you attend your appointment to avoid any delays in your enrolment.
