How do I apply?
Applications for the 2027-28 academic year will open on Thursday 26 November 2026.
Before you submit your application
You should give your application careful thought and discuss it with your Study Abroad Adviser, making sure that you would be able to receive credit for your chosen courses at your home institution.
Visiting Students are asked to consult the course matrix and the subject pages before completing the application form to ensure that their preferred subject combinations are permitted.
The deadline to submit your application is 11:59pm UK time on Monday 25 January 2027. We will not be accepting further submissions after the form has closed.
We encourage students to apply well in advance of the deadline to allow their referees sufficient time to submit their references. Please note that references must also be submitted by the above deadline, and it remains the applicant’s responsibility to ensure this is the case.
What you’ll need to apply
Visiting Student applicants should submit their application via the online application form. In this form, you will need to provide/upload:
- A personal statement
- A current transcript
- A completed home institution approval form
- A sample of recent academic work in English (unless you are applying for a Modern Language), for each subject for which you are applying
- The email addresses of two referees, whom we will contact to ask for a reference

Graduate students
Only undergraduate students are eligible for our Visiting Student programme.
However, the College does occasionally admit Visiting Students at graduate level. This would usually be for students who are planning to work with a Fellow of St Edmund Hall, and applicants wishing to be considered in this way should ask the Fellow in question to consult the Admissions Office.
