  • All programmes are taught in English, and we require students to meet English proficiency requirements. These requirements may be met through school-level English language studies, or by appearing for one of the tests that we accept as evidence of English language proficiency.
  • There is a common application form for all students, and an application fee of Rs. 5,500/- is payable at the time of submitting your application form.
  • Academic transcripts must be accompanied by a translation into English for us to consider your application. Additionally, we will require the accreditation status of the last institution attended.

For detailed programme-specific eligibility, please refer to details on individual programme pages.

International student fees are specified separately for each programme. They are applicable to those who do not hold an Indian passport and are not Overseas Citizens of India (OCI).  

  • Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are considered under the Indian student fee structure.
  • For international fee information, please refer to 'Our fees' on individual programme pages.

The International Student Office offers guidance with:

  • Pre-arrival and arrival support
  • Cultural and academic transition
  • Day-to-day student life

You can reach out to the office whenever you require support.

Your Student Visa

International students must obtain a visa as per Government of India’s regulations as specified from time to time. You must hold a valid Student Visa to study in India for the anticipated full duration of the programme of study. The student, or student’s guardian where applicable at any stage of the process, is responsible for applying for the Student Visa, payment of all visa and associated fees and expenses and compliance with visa requirements, documentation and processes required by the Government of India.

International students must have a valid offer from University of Southampton Delhi before applying for a Student Visa. To apply for a visa:

  • Hold an unconditional offer to study a programme with University of Southampton Delhi.
  • Students need to confirm a place in student housing and provide proof of accommodation to obtain a Student visa. Our Delhi campus offers fully furnished student housing, integrated with support services for you to settle into a new country quickly and easily.
  • After accepting your offer and paying the tuition deposit, apply for your student visa. You can find information on how to make your visa application using the Study In India Visa Guidelines or the Authorized Visa Portal.
  • Register on the Study in India portal, as  required for visa processing.
  • Your visa must be endorsed to University of Southampton. Upon enrolment, the university will register your details on the Foreign Student Information System (FSIS) portal.
  • On arrival in India, all international students must register at the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) / Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) as required by regulations specified by the Government of India from time to time. Please start this process immediately on arrival in India, after registering yourself on the FRO/ FRRO portal. You are required to complete FRRO registration within 14 days of your arrival in India using these helpful Study In India FRRO Guidelines.

A student who does not hold an Indian passport is considered an international student. However, Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) are classified under the Indian fee structure.

All programmes are taught in English. You must meet the university’s English language requirements, either through school-level qualifications or by submitting a valid score from an accepted English proficiency test such as IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent.

You need to complete the application form, upload the required documents (including certified English translations of transcripts), and pay an application fee of INR 5,500. For programme-specific requirements, please check the relevant programme page.

International tuition fees are listed separately for each programme. OCI cardholders are subject to the Indian student fee rates.

As an international student, you must apply for a Student Visa endorsed to University of Southampton after receiving your offer letter and completing your tuition deposit. Please apply through the official Indian visa portal.

FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office) registration is mandatory for international students and must be completed within 14 days of arrival in India. The university will assist you in initiating this process.

Currently, the Indian student visa does not permit part-time employment. You are advised to check the most recent government guidelines or speak to the International Student Office for updated information.
