Studying in the UK.

We offer excellent support for all our international students. That’s why our visa and careers teams work closely with you before and after you study with us. We welcome students from around the world and offer an international and culturally diverse environment in which to study. We are a Tier 4 Sponsor for visas and are fully recognised and accredited as a Higher Education Institution.

At BPP University, there is support and advice from day one, in the form of our International Admissions Officers. Our friendly and informed team is there for students from all over the world and is ready to provide help and advice whenever it is needed – meaning you can concentrate on your studies.

Moving to a new country or city is an exciting time but there is a lot to plan before you arrive. That is why our support starts right now with dedicated assistance for visa enquiries, accommodation and finance.

Our International Admissions Officers can give advice and information on:

• Choosing a course

• Choosing your study location

• Applying for Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS)

• Securing your study visa

• Your finance options

• Finding accommodation

• Learning support

• Registering with doctors and dentists

Visas and immigration

If you are a non-EU/EEA National, you will need a visa that allows you to study in the UK. Most students will apply for a General Student Visa (Tier 4 Visa under the Points Based System – PBS) to study in the UK. Under the PBS, which may change from time to time, you must be sponsored by an institution such as BPP University, which is registered with the UK Visa and Immigration office (UKVI), which is part of the Home Office, as a Tier 4 Sponsor. There are other visa types (for example: Dependant Visa, Post Study Work Visa), which will allow you to study in the UK.

If you are already in the UK and hold a visa, the international office at BPP University will advise you if your status will allow you to study with us or if you must apply for a Tier 4 Visa. For information on visas, how to apply, guidance notes and application forms, please visit the UKVI website.


My main reason for choosing to study in the UK was to ensure I would secure a good job once I graduated. I think that BPP University is a great university and I would recommend it to other students as the perfect university for careers.
