Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of Short-Term Student (English Language) Route Visa applications refusals were due to belief that the applicant was applying to use the route without the intention to study.

Published data on short term student visas can be found here, Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK including refusal volumes.

Visa applications can be refused for a variety of reasons, and we do not publish data detailing these. Short term student visa applications must meet the criteria as published here; Short-term students caseworker guidance (accessible) - GOV.UK.
