They made this exact move.
“I applied to four UK universities and had three offers within a week. They were honest about which ones were actually worth my money instead of pushing the highest commission.”
“My CAS and financial documents were checked three times before lodgement. Visa granted in 12 working days with no interview.”
UK questions, answered properly.
These are the five questions we are asked most often about United Kingdom.
Ask a different questionCan I study in the UK without IELTS?
Yes — many of our partner universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter, PTE Academic, Duolingo English Test or their own internal English assessment. We confirm each university’s exact policy before you apply, so you never pay for a test you did not need.
How much bank balance do I need for a UK student visa?
You must show tuition fees for your first year plus living costs of £1,529 per month (London) or £1,171 per month (outside London) for up to 9 months. The money must sit in an eligible account for 28 consecutive days ending no more than 31 days before you apply. From 30 November 2026 those living-cost figures increase to £14,130 and £10,827 respectively.
Is the Graduate Route still available?
Yes. The Graduate Route currently gives bachelor’s and master’s graduates 2 years of unsponsored work rights and PhD graduates 3 years. For applications made on or after 1 January 2027 the bachelor’s and master’s period reduces to 18 months, so intake timing matters — we plan this with you from the start.
Can I bring my spouse on a UK student visa?
Dependants are generally only permitted for postgraduate research programs (such as PhD) and government-sponsored courses lasting six months or more. We assess your specific course before you make any family plans.
How long does a UK student visa take?
Standard processing from Bangladesh is around 3 weeks once biometrics are submitted. Priority services can reduce this to roughly 5 working days where available.
Still weighing up destinations?
Most students we counsel change their mind at least once. That is a good sign — it means they are comparing properly.
