The Bloomsbury Institute, a London-based higher education provider, has had its licence to sponsor international students revoked after failing the Basic Compliance Assessment. The assessment, conducted under pre-June 2026 standards, found the institute did not meet visa refusal rate, enrolment, and completion thresholds. The Home Office revoked the licence on 5 August, citing serious breaches of sponsorship duties. Existing students will temporarily remain enrolled, with support provided for those unable to complete courses. The institute is removed from the Student Sponsor Register and cannot sponsor new students. From 1 June 2026, stricter standards apply, requiring visa refusal rates below 5%, enrolment at 95%, and completion at 85%.
