Consent form

If you are under 18 when the course starts, your parents or legal guardians must return a completed consent form, which will be provided with your offer to study letter.

A guardian in the UK

You will need a guardian in the UK. The guardian should be someone who can be contacted in case of an emergency to help resolve problems. The guardian needs to be able to speak English and be able to take responsibility for you if for any reason you leave the University.

If your parents do not know anyone who can act as a guardian, they can find a guardian through AEGIS.

Your parents will remain responsible for your welfare while you are staying in the UK. 

Accommodation

If you are under 18 at the time of enrolment, you must live in University-owned accommodation, or with a family member or your legal guardian within a reasonable distance of the University, at least until your 18th birthday.
