The Home Office does not publish information on how many student visas have been issued to people studying at each university.

The Home Office does publish data on sponsored study visas by course level in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on visas issued are published in table ‘Edu_D02’ of the ‘sponsored study visas by course level dataset’. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data is from January 2018 up to the end of March 2025. Please note the data does not show the academic year the visa was granted for, or whether the visa was issued to study at a university.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
