Study in the United Kingdom Without IELTS. Complete Guide for Bangladeshi Students
Studying in the United Kingdom (UK) is a dream for many Bangladeshi students. The UK offers world-class education, globally recognized degrees, and exciting career opportunities. But one common question we often hear is:
Can I apply for a UK study visa without IELTS?
The answer is yes, and RTL Immigration and Visa Advisory can help you every step of the way.
No IELTS Need Easier Way to Study in the UK
Many UK universities now allow international students, including Bangladeshi students, to apply for a UK study visa even without the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.
Instead of IELTS, universities may accept:
- Good English grades (60%-70%) in your Secondary School Certificate (SSC), Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC), or bachelor's program.
- An official Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your previous institution, confirming that your studies were fully taught in English.
- A short online English test or interview conducted by the university itself.
At RTL Immigration and Visa Advisory, we partner with several universities that offer this NO IELTS need option, such as:
- The University of Cumbria
- Middlesex University London
- The University of Hertfordshire
- The University of Law
We directly guide you to these universities, help you prepare your documents, and make sure your English requirement is accepted by the university.
Step-by-Step UK Student Visa Process
Once you receive your unconditional offer from the university, the next important step is to get your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This is an official electronic document issued by your university that confirms your admission and English assessment.
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) office accepts this CAS document as proof that your English skills have been verified by a licensed Higher Education Provider (HEP).When applying for your student visa for the United Kingdom.you will need to prepare the following documents:
- CAS letter from your universit
- Academic certificates and transcripts
- Financial documents (bank statement or sponsor proof)
- Valid passport
- Application fee payment receipt
- Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) payment confirmation
Our team at RTL Immigration and Visa Advisory checks every document carefully before submission to make sure there are no errors or missing details that could cause visa refusal.UK Student Visa Cost and Financial Requirements
The total UK student visa cost includes:
- Visa application fee: £524 (British Pounds)
- Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS): this fee allows you to use the UK's National Health Service (NHS) during your study period.
You must also prove you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses. The required amount depends on where you study:
- For London: a higher living cost is required
- For outside London: a lower amount is accepted
Your money must stay in a bank account (yours or your sponsor's) for at least 28 consecutive days before submitting your visa application.
RTL Immigration and Visa Advisory provides full financial guidance helping you prepare correct bank statements, loan letters, or sponsorship documents as per UKVI (United Kingdom Visas and Immigration) rules.
Visa Interview and Preparation
After submitting your visa application online through the UK Government portal, you will schedule an appointment at a visa application center for your fingerprints and photo.
You may also be invited for a credibility interview, which is a short online or in-person discussion with an immigration officer. The purpose is to check that you are a genuine student with clear study goals.
