Can I obtain a CAS to extend my studies in the UK?

You will be able to obtain a CAS if you are:

  • resitting exams or repeating modules
  • applying for the first time to a new institution to complete a course you started at an institution that lost its sponsorship status
  • applying to extend your stay to complete your studies because you have done (or want to do) a work placement or study abroad programme
  • completing a PhD or other doctorate that you started studying under your last Student visa
  • applying after working as a student union sabbatical officer to complete a qualification you started studying under your last Student visa
  • continuing your medical, dentistry or medical science degree after completing an intercalated course
