I am not sure that you are still using this web. But I am in the same situation as you now. I will finish my first degree this summer and I also got a MBBS offer. So how was the CAS and Visa application last year? Did they ask you to provide something to show the academic progression? The 5-year cap seems okay for medicine degree. I am just worried about the academic progression as my first degree is an engineering degree.
Thank you very much:)

Hi Greenie, I think the university knew that. A 2.1 first degree is the entry requirement for graduate entry student like me and they said on their web that the first degree can be any subject. I am going to ask the admission office to check that. I wonder that even if I get the CAS from the university, the UKBA may still refuse my visa application because of the academic progression? Thank youGreenie wrote: Does the university who had made you the offer know about your previous study history and have they confirmed they can give you a CAS. It is up to the university to confirm academic progression. I think they would have a difficult time justifying progression when your previous degree is in a completely unrelated subject but it depends on how they apply the academic progression rules. Be prepared also that if they do issue you a CAS you are likely to be inteviewed and they may question your intentions.
It's possible. The sponsor needs to confirm specifically that the new course is academic progression on the previous Tier 4 studies. As advised, you are likely to be interviewed to confirm your credibility.Lupei wrote: I wonder that even if I get the CAS from the university, the UKBA may still refuse my visa application because of the academic progression?
