The British Ministry of the Interior 30 September 2026 Announced, suspending the Buckinghamshire New University Studen sponsor licence. During the suspension, schools were not able to issue applications for new international students for registration of Acceptance for Statistics (CAS).
Current students don't have to stop at once.
Both the British Government Gazette and the Times High Education report indicate that sponsored students who are already in school and hold valid visas can continue their courses during the period of validity of existing immigration permits. This disposal does not amount to a closure of the university, nor does it mean that the visas for all existing international students will immediately expire.
What are the new applicants affected by?
New arrivals who have not yet obtained CAS and are in the process of applying for a visa are temporarily unable to obtain new guarantee documents from the school. Taiwan applicants who have obtained an offer should confirm directly to the school the CAS status, the need to delay their enrolment, and the manner in which the down payment and accommodation are handled; A visa may not be granted solely on the basis of a general acceptance letter.
A reminder for Taiwan students and parents
A British student visa must be provided by an educational institution with a valid sponsor licence. In the event of a change in the security eligibility, a written notice from the school should be kept and the latest GOV.UK bulletins checked before the curriculum changes, refunds or reapply for a visa. This paper does not deduce the results of the survey or the date of restoration; The time that has not been officially announced shall not be regarded as a commitment.
