Apply from Bangladesh
If you're a student from Bangladesh thinking of coming to study in Plymouth, you'll find all the essential information you need right here
If you’re a student in Bangladesh considering studying at the University of Plymouth, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Please note the University currently doesn't issue any CAS for applicants from the region of Sylhet. The University has identified a higher visa rejection rate for this region, which presents an unacceptable sponsor licence risk. The University has an obligation to protect their sponsor Licence and comply with UKVI BCA metrics. The University look forward to recruiting from the region in the future, when the visa environment allows this.
On this page, you’ll find all the details about entry requirements, tuition fees and funding options. You can also read about the experiences of other students to get a better sense of life at Plymouth and how they’ve navigated their own journey.

Our partner college on campus, University of Plymouth International College (UPIC), offers a wide variety of foundation courses.
You can apply to study a bachelors degree from year one if you have a bachelors degree from a recognised Bangladeshi institution, with at least two years of study.
Postgraduate
We require applicants to have completed a three-year bachelors (honours) degree followed by a one- or two-year masters degree from a recognised university in Bangladesh.
Those with a four-year bachelors degree from a recognised Bangladeshi institution may also be considered for postgraduate study.

Find out what our students think
I was really impressed with the way the University works and handles situations... I believe the experience and exposure I gained during my programme strengthened my willingness to choose Plymouth for my doctoral studies.
There is so much that I love about the University of Plymouth. 24/7 access to library is the best thing. There are also a number of societies that help you to make friends, indulge in your hobbies, and improve your skills.
It is quite different to stay here in Plymouth compared to Bangladesh. It is an incredibly beautiful city with nice and friendly people, so anyone can settle down in a brief period. There is a lot to do, visit and enjoy in Plymouth and the best part is the ocean that is not too far from the University.
