How to study in Orlando

Every university in Orlando will have a different admissions process, so you’ll need to apply to each one individually. As a basic rule, you must have finished your secondary education and meet the entry requirements of your chosen institution.

If you’re hoping to take an English-taught program, your university might ask for proof of your language proficiency. Most institutions accept the TOEFL and IELTS tests, but some may have their own examinations.

Once you’ve received a formal admissions letter from your university, you can start applying for your US student visa. The F1 visa allows you to remain in the country for the entirety of your program.
