Questions students from Bangladesh ask us
Can my family come with me?
Dependants can usually join only for certain courses, for example research degrees; for most taught master’s degrees they cannot. Check the official rule; it changes.
Can I work while I study?
Usually allowed part-time in term time. The exact hours and the kinds of work allowed are set by UK Visas and Immigration; check the official rule before you count on the income.
What English score do I need?
Each course sets its own. Your counsellor checks the course page with you and tells you which tests the university and the authority accept.
What if my visa is refused?
We look at the refusal reasons with you and, where the rules allow, help you reapply. We never promise an outcome, because the decision is not ours.
