You will receive an email from the University with instructions on how to enrol. 

Enrol here

We would encourage you to enrol as soon as possible when you receive this email, to ensure a smooth start to your studies.

Enrolment lets us report to agencies such as Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) and Student Loans Company (SLC), to confirm your funding arrangement. We’re processing enrolments manually this year, and therefore it may take slightly longer than the normal five working days for funds from SLC to reach your account.

Once you’re enrolled, you’ll be able to view your timetable via CELCAT Calendar.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENT

Once you have entered the UK, you will be required to update this address. You will also be required to provide the original of your passport and BRP once you have arrived in the UK. We will give you the details of where and when this can be done in due course.
