The University of Bedfordshire is pleased to offer a number of course for students who have completed their schooling in a system where they have only studied for 12 years and have not reached the academic level appropriate for direct entry to our undergraduate programme. These specialise in the following areas and are offered by the following faculties:

从2010年2月22日起，将推出电子版录取通知书，即E-CAS，替代原有的Visa Letter，这意味着英国对留学生签证政策进一步收紧。

在提高签证效率的同时，电子录取政策的出台，无疑将影响部分中国学生申请学生签证，特别是在英中国学生申请签证延期，难度将进一步加大。英国新政策下将只承认现金存款，而国债、股票、基金、分红保险等投资类存款将不再认可。有条件录取的申请人，签证有效期为前期语言或者预科课程时间段。无条件录取一般为整个学习计划长度。此外学生签证申请者还需提供28天的资金证明。

1、E-CAS号的有效期只有6个月，这就要求学生在获得E-CAS号的6个月内申请办理签证。
2、一个E-CAS只对应一门主要课程。
3、在最新签证政策中强调到翻译件问题。翻译件必须包含一系列必要信息，如翻译人的姓名，资格证号码，及翻译人的签名等，否则英国签证中心则会认为翻译件不符合要求而遭受拒签。根据英领馆消息，最近很多学生都是因为这个原因被拒签的。
4、英国签证中心也会对学生的学习能力、语言能里、资金能力以及学生留学英国动机等进行调查，如果被发现哪个方面有问题都会导致拒签。因此请务必仔细准备签证材料，避免出现拒签的可能。

押金变更

　　为了证实学生有资金能力完成留学，部分院校已经发出通知提高学费押金金额。比如，Kaplan学习集团，2010年1月18日后收到录取通知书的学生，对于确定名额的押金将由1000英镑提升至预科课程的一个学期学费（3000英镑以上）。

The procedure for sponsoring students under Tier 4 of the points-based system will change next month, when phase 4 of Tier 4 begins.From 22 February 2010, visa letters will be obsolete. Tier 4 sponsors will need to use our sponsorship management system to issue confirmations of acceptance for studies (CASs) to all potential students, whether they are applying from inside or outside the UK. From the same date, we will refuse any student applications under Tier 4 that do not contain a CAS number. If you issue a visa letter before 22 February to a student who intends to apply to us on or after that date, you must also issue them with a CAS.

If a student has used a CAS in their application to us, their sponsor must use the sponsorship management system to report on that student in any of the circumstances listed on the Reporting page of this website.
