Check any UK university before applying
- Licensed student sponsor: only universities on the Home Office register of licensed student sponsors can issue a CAS for a Student visa.
- Bangladesh page: most universities publish Bangladesh-specific entry rules; use them instead of general international requirements.
- Course, not brand: compare modules, assessment, placement options and total cost for the exact course.
- Pay only official channels: verify fee and deposit instructions on the university’s own website.
