Challenges You’ll Conquer
Visa applications need focus. You must show a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), funds (£1,334/month for London), and English skills (IELTS 6.0+). New rules limit dependents, so plan carefully—tuition (£15,000-£30,000/year) and living costs challenge budgets. Adjusting to the UK’s weather or social norms, such as queuing, takes time. Competition is fierce, with thousands of applicants. NWC’s experts review your documents and prepare you for success, helping you avoid common mistakes. Overcome hurdles with our visa application pitfalls guide.
Embrace UK Culture
The UK’s mix of tradition and diversity excites Bangladeshi students. Locals appreciate politeness—always saying “please” and “thank you.” Winters are cold, so pack warm clothes. Find halal food, rice, and spices at Bangladeshi shops in Birmingham or London. Join student clubs for cricket or Eid events to make friends. South Asian communities can help ease homesickness, allowing you to thrive. Ready to adapt? Our cultural guide for Bangladeshi students has you covered.
