Put in the date your course starts and where it is. The planner works backwards into the steps that have to happen first, with dates, and marks the ones that are already due. Add them all to your calendar in one click.
The dates are typical lead times and the published visa windows we checked on 2026-09-22, not deadlines set by your institution. Your offer letter and the authority's own page always win. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Why work backwards
Almost every refused or delayed start we hear about has the same cause: one step began too late and everything after it was squeezed. English tests need a booking and a result, references need weeks, scholarships close before admissions, deposits unlock the document the visa needs, and the visa itself cannot be applied for before a fixed window opens. Seeing the whole chain with dates makes the first late step visible while there is still time.
For the detail behind each step, read the application timeline, how application cycles are sequenced and student visa processing times.
