The Home Office has suspended the Bloomsbury Institute’s licence to sponsor international students to study in the UK amid an ongoing investigation.

In a statement, the London-based institution said that it is “engaged in a regulatory review” of its international student sponsor licence with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

“We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that the licence has not been revoked,” the institution said.

Bloomsbury is not permitted to sponsor any new students until the review is complete. International students currently at the institution are permitted to continue their studies during the suspension period.

Bloomsbury’s website states that it is currently closed to international applications for its October 2026 intake.
