The University of Aberdeen uses the online self-service system CAS Shield to enable us to review your documents for CAS issue. Once you have fulfilled all conditions and firmly accepted your offer, you will receive an email invitation from CAS Shield to create an account.
CAS Shield will be auto-populated with information about you and your programme and you will be asked to check this for accuracy. It is very important that all the information is accurate, otherwise there is a risk that your visa may be refused.
As an overseas student, your Certificate of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) will allow you to begin arrangements for obtaining your student visa. The admissions team will only be able to send your CAS letter when you have completed all of the steps listed in the video below, and replied to any emails they send you asking for further information.
Watch the video and fill in the form to see if you've completed all the steps required in order to obtain your CAS letter. If you have any questions please email pgadmissions (postgraduate study) or ugadmissions (undergraduate study) who will be happy to help.
