EnglishA-Z List of UK Universities
Our A-Z list of UK universities covers the higher education institutions on the Home Office register of educational institutions licensed to sponsor international students under the Student and Child Student visa routes. Every university listed here is a licensed student sponsor, and international students who start their course at 16 or 17 study under the Student visa route, with written parental consent and suitable care arrangements in the UK.
This list was updated in 2026 and is the complete list of universities where British Guardianship can provide UK university guardianship. If your child will be under 18 when their course begins, the university will ask for a nominated UK guardian. Our AEGIS accredited team acts as that guardian, with a local coordinator and 24-hour emergency support until your child turns 18.

Intake information
Intake information is provided as a general guide and is grouped into three main intakes, September, January and May. A course starting in October is grouped under September, and one starting in February under January. Term start dates differ between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Applicants should follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and confirm the latest dates and entry requirements on the each official university website.
Disclaimer: University names and logos are shown for identification purposes only and remain the property of their respective owners. British Guardianship is an independent AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, and inclusion in this list does not mean that a university is affiliated with or endorses British Guardianship. All universities listed hold a student sponsor licence on the UK Visas and Immigration register of licensed sponsors, and British Guardianship can provide UK university guardianship for students under 18 at each of them. The list was updated in 2026. University information is provided as a general guide; entry requirements and minimum age policies can change and may vary by course, so please refer to each university's official website for the latest details.
