Licensed student sponsors

Snapshot 6 Nov 2026

Every organisation listed on the Home Office register: universities, colleges and several hundred independent schools. The table opens on higher education institutions, but searching covers all of them, and a school can be found by its own name even where the register lists the trust that holds its licence. Independent schools have their own page; there is also a plain A–Z of every sponsor. “Register standing” is read directly from the register’s Status and Immigration Compliance columns — it is not a rating, a score, or an assessment by us.
