Short Courses

For courses costing less than £4,000 (UK) / €4,000 (Berlin), students must pay the full course fee, 20% of which is a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking.

Please note: your booking is not confirmed until you have made the full payment.

For courses with course fees of £4,000 or over (UK) or €4,000 or over (Berlin), students will need to pay a £1,000 (UK) / €1,000 (Berlin) non-refundable deposit at the time of booking, with the outstanding balance payable 1 month in advance of the course start date (students may also pay the full course fee at the time of booking).

For those coming from outside of the UK, on courses for up to six months, some students will be required to apply for the Standard Visitor Visa. To find out if you will need to apply for this, please visit this page. Students can apply for this only three months prior to a course starting.

Decisions on the Standard Visitor Visa will be granted within three weeks of application and costs £95.

After you have paid the full course fee, MetStudios will issue an acceptance letter that will detail the relevant information about the course. You can then use this for your application.

You will need to prove that you have enough money to cover all reasonable costs of your visit without working or accessing public funds, including the cost of the return or onward journey. You will be able to use someone else’s money to prove this if you have a personal or professional relationship with them, and they will provide support to you for the duration of your visit.

All course fees must be paid prior to an application for a Standard Visitor Visa.
