Foreign Students

Destiny College is truly an international environment . We have had students from all over the world. Some of these countries are listed here.

Some common questions that are asked by international students applying to Destiny College are answered below:

How do I study in Scotland if I am from overseas?
If you are an overseas student you may need to apply for a Student Visa. Contact the British Embassy in your country and they can send you the forms to apply. Allow plenty of time to apply for the visa before the course starts. To apply for your visa, you will first need to be accepted by the college, and pay our application fee. We will then issue you with a Confi rmation of Enrolment letter that you will need to apply for your visa.

Can I work?
Students can work part time whilst at College to supplement their income. Overseas students requiring visas are normally allowed to work up to 20 hours per week.

Are there scholarships?
The College does not generally provide scholarships. Students are responsible for funding the course and all their accommodation and living expenses.

Do I have to apply by a certain date?
You can apply any time. If you are an overseas student, you should allow enough time to obtain your visa if required and to organise your flight to Scotland.

Does the college have halls of residence?
No. The college does not currently have it’s own accommodation to off er students. While finding accommodation ultimately remains the responsibility of each student, the college can provide helpful advice during that process.
