They drink the water from the sink which is completely different from our country because where the sink is just for washing dishes and if you want the water you have to go to the tap water. You can drink it and it is actually nice because if we can drink the water from the sink it proves that the water is clean.

First, you’ll choose a university, centre, or international college where you want to study. Whether you apply alone or with our support, we’ll provide you with a conditional offer within 24 hours. Once accepted, you’ll need to confirm your tuition payment method.
Our student experience team will then guide you through webinars and comprehensive guides on visa applications, accommodation booking, and preparing for your stay.
For your CAS to be released, you may need to attend a pre CAS interview carried out by Oxford International Education Group. If a credibility interview is required, it will be mentioned in your CAS Shield portal, which can be activated once you pay your deposit, or you receive your unconditional offer letter.
If you have already attended your pre CAS interview and have been successful, then your agent will be able to request for your CAS. Credibility Interviews are valid for 6 months, however if you decide to apply for another OIEG centre then you may be required to take the interview again.
A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies number or CAS is a unique identification number issued to the university by the UKVI. This number confirms that the university has been given permission to ‘sponsor’ your Tier 4 application. Your Tier 4 visa will only be valid for study at the University Partner that has issued the CAS and you will receive the CAS number by email.
Please note that a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies number can only be provided once the following conditions have been met:
1. You have received an unconditional offer from the University in writing.
2. You have paid a 50% deposit towards your fees.
3. You have provided copies of all documents that you need to submit with your student visa application (such as qualifications and proof of finances).
You must hold a valid UK visa that entitles you to study before you can start your course with one of our partner universities. Use your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) or Acceptance Letter to apply for a visa with your local British Embassy. Please visit the UK Government website for more information.
