Accommodation

Cambridge and Oxford are collegiate universities, and all its students are members of a College.

The academic decision on whether to recommend you for a place on your chosen course is made by the department to which you apply, not the College. Your application papers will be sent to the Colleges only after a formal academic offer of admission has been made. Your application will be considered in sequence by a number of different Colleges until a College offers you membership.

King's operates differently. See the information about accommodation on the King's Residences web page.

Visas

A Tier 4 visa is issued to study in the UK for six months or longer. The sponsor for Tier 4 purposes is the educational institution where the student will study. The visa is issued for a particular course at the institution. You must apply for a Tier 4 visa prior to travelling to the UK unless you are already in the UK holding a valid visa that permits you to make an application for further leave to remain under Tier 4.

Health and insurance

When you are enrolled into your study abroad unit(s), after you are accepted into this program, you are automatically covered for up to 365 days when travelling on Monash approved activities. You are also covered for 60 days personal travel before and after the Monash approved activity (within the 365 day coverage period). Further details about the policy and getting coverage can be found on the Monash Finance Intranet [login required].

Those applying for a Tier 4 student visa and going to the UK for 6 months or longer will be required to pay an immigration health surcharge as part of their visa application fee. The immigration health surcharge will entitle Tier 4 students to access NHS care in the UK at no additional cost in the same way as a permanent UK resident. This includes at the Doctor's surgery (known as General Practitioner or GP), a Healthcare Centre or in a hospital. You may need to pay for dental and optical treatment as well as medicine prescribed by the doctor and collected from a pharmacy. There are also exceptions for particularly expensive discretionary treatments.
