Visas and international information

Visa for graduands

Depending on when your visa expires and the date of your graduation ceremony, you may need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa before travelling to the UK. 

Please check: 

• Whether you need a visa 
• Which documents are required to support your application 

If you have been invited to graduation, you can download an invitation letter to support your visa application. If you have completed your degree and have been invited to attend the graduation ceremony, follow these steps to download your invitation letter: 

Visa for guests

If your guests need a visitor visa to travel to the UK, they may need an invitation letter from you as part of their application. 

You can download and complete our invitation letter template for your guests. 

Please note: 

• Ravensbourne only formally invites graduates.
• We cannot provide individual invitation letters for guests.
• We cannot stamp or personalise documents for visa applications.

If you cannot attend your graduation ceremony, you can still watch the event online through our graduation live stream.
