Returning students

If you have completed one course of study and you are applying for a Student visa to study a new course at RAU, you should apply within three months of the new course start date. You cannot apply for a new Student visa earlier than three months from the course start date. RAU becomes responsible for you as soon as your new visa application is approved.

When to apply for your visa

As you are already studying in the UK you will have to apply for a Student visa for the new RAU course you will be starting in order to register and start your new course.

The Innovation Village @ the RAU

Based on a 12 hectare site at the University’s Cirencester campus, the new Innovation Village will push the boundaries of sustainable design to ensure a development that is beautiful, carbon neutral, rich in nature, and inspires innovation through its environment.

Our Innovation Village will bring together industry, food producers, farmers and landowners to create a global innovation park to spark entrepreneurial solutions for sustainable land use and a net zero future.
