Home Office Trusted Sponsor

GSM London welcomes international students from over 60 nationalities worldwide and are proud of our international reputation as a trusted provider of quality degree education in partnership with Plymouth University.

We were one of the first UK independent Higher Education providers to be awarded "Highly Trusted Sponsor" status (HTS) by the Home Office. This category of licence recognises sponsors who are achieving the highest level of compliance required by the Home Office allowing our students to be confident that they are part of a respected and trusted institution.

There are a number of benefits awarded to sponsors who have achieved "Highly Trusted Sponsor" status these include:

• The ability to accept students on to courses at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 6 such as our Plymouth University Extended Degree Foundation Degree programmes.
• The ability to allow students whose leave to remain is associated with another Institution to begin their studies whilst their application for their new Tier 4 visa is being considered by the Home office.
• The provision by the Home Office of a sponsor account manager who will act as a single point of contact for GSM London who will be able to provide assistance with Points Based System queries in the UK.
