Due to the fact that under the current legislations International Students have to pay very high fees at UK Universities. As international students have a hard time managing all their living expenses and tuition fees. We have endeavoured to provide the same education to UK university standard at very competitive rates. We also help them to find accommodations, to register with doctors and to open bank accounts.

  Student Visa:

Internally at Maritime Greenwich College the admissions office is responsible for all pre-enrolment documentation (acceptance letter etc.) and will provide assistance in relation to your visas.

Once the College has approved your application and the registration fee has been received you will in return receive all the required documentation to obtain your student visa. Visa applications are made through the British Embassy, British High Commission and processes may vary between countries, you are advised to contact your nearest office. Further information is available through the British Foreign Office web site or indeed the British Council.

A full information pack with advice concerning visa applications will be dispatched with your acceptance letter pack.

  Accommodation and Airport Transfer:

The College’s Accommodation and Welfare Office offers a range of accommodation for incoming international students. We advise students interested in arranging airport pick up and accommodation services through the College to pay necessary deposits as early as possible in order to ensure availability of these services. Accommodation arranged by the Accommodation and Welfare Office must be booked for a minimum two-week in advance before their arrival in the UK. Even if an accommodation deposit has been received from the student, failure to provide this advance notice may lead to students being unable to move into their intended accommodation upon their arrival in the United Kingdom. Cancellation terms and conditions apply.

The two different types of accommodation that can be arranged through Maritime Greenwich College:

Accommodation with a host family (approx. £400.00 per month)

Accommodation in Single or Shared rooms (approx. £300.00 per month)

Arriving international students can be picked up from London airports on request. Transport from Heathrow Airport to south-east London will cost in the range of £60 one-way. Transport from Gatwick Airport to south-east London will cost in the range of £50 one-way. Please note that in case of airport delays as a result of rescheduled flight times, immigration controls etc. will incur a waiting charge.

If the student informs the College of their requirement for airport pick up and accommodation services without having paid any deposit towards these services, the College cannot guarantee that these facilities will be available to the student. The Accommodation and Welfare Office will do what is reasonably possible in the circumstance to assist, but the student may be obliged to make their own immediate provisions.

  Working During Term Time:

Students who are on full time courses and have entered the country on Student Visa's are allowed to do part time work. The current ruling is that students may undertake 20hrs paid work per week during term time. The administration Office at Greenwich College will advise students about finding suitable employment. Within the UK there is a minimum wage that employers must pay.

  Working Out of Term Time:

For students who wish to remain in the UK during the vacation periods, they can actually increase their employment time to 40 hours per week.
