International Students at Delamar
Delamar Academy welcomes students from all over the world onto its courses, and this has contributed to its excellent international reputation as an exceptional learning environment. London is a fantastic, vibrant and exciting city, culturally rich, and full of interesting people and places. Based in Ealing, West London, and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars, the Academy is an easy tube/train ride away from Central London. The professional facility at Ealing Studios, one of the leading Film Studios in the world, is the ideal environment in which to train in make-up and hair.
Delamar courses are very visual and hands-on, which means that no previous experience is necessary, although a good level of spoken and understood English is required.
Please note that for all students, whether from the UK or abroad, Delamar Academy charges the same course fees.
Do I need a Visa?
If you are from a non-EU country and plan to study on a full-time course lasting more than 6 months, you must apply for a student visa. You should apply to the British Embassy or Consulate in your own country or, if there is not one where you live, you should apply via a British Embassy or Consulate in a neighbouring country.
Please note that visas take time to process. If you think you will need a visa, we suggest that you start the application process immediately after you enrol at Delamar Academy (see How to Enrol).

Student Visitor (14 Week Complete Make-up Artist Course)
International students studying on the 14 week Complete Make-up Artist Course can now apply for leave to enter the UK as a Student Visitor. This new category allows for short term students to undertake a short period of study during their visit to the UK. As a Student Visitor you would be required to meet the requirements of the rules relating to visitors.
The period when you intend to be in the UK must not exceed six months.
There are no provisions for Student Visitors to extend their leave in the UK or switch in-country to any other category.

Does Delamar Academy help with accommodation?
There are a number of different accommodation options available to students. Some stay with friends or family for the first few weeks or at the Ealing YMCA, which is a 5-minute walk from the Academy.
We can also link up enrolled students with a view to sharing accommodation.
