Visas: Sponsorship
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the UK Visas and Immigration's document entitled Register of licensed sponsors: students, updated on 8 July 2026, how many students were sponsored by each Higher Education Institution listed as a student sponsor in the most recent year for which data is available.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Home Office does not publish sponsored study visa data broken down by individual Higher Education Institution. However, published data on sponsored study visas is available in the Home Office’s immigration statistics at: Student sponsor guidance - GOV.UK.
The Home Office does not routinely publish a breakdown of sponsor-compliance decisions by assessment type.
Further information is available in the published Sponsor Guidance and the Sponsor Compliance Visits Guidance on GOV.UK: Sponsorship: guidance for employers and educators - GOV.UK.
