What Makes House of Admissions Different?
Three things define how House of Admissions works: a free service model, a UK-only focus, and hands-on help with funding.
Free to Students, No Hidden Fees
There is no processing or service charge to students. UK universities compensate registered agents for the students they enrol, which is how the service stays free. You still pay official third-party costs yourself — tuition, the £558 visa fee and the £776/year Immigration Health Surcharge (UK Home Office, gov.uk/student-visa). See how the application process works.
UK Specialists, Not Generalists
We focus only on the UK. Our counsellors work with UKVI Student visa rules, Russell Group and other UK admissions, CAS guidance, and the 28-day financial-evidence requirement that applies to Nepali applicants.
Scholarship & Funding Support
We don't stop at admission — we look for funding. From automatic merit bursaries (commonly £2,000+, varying by university) to Chevening and GREAT applications, we help you reduce costs. Explore all UK scholarships.
Do You Get Help After You Arrive in the UK?
Our support continues after you board your flight at Tribhuvan International Airport. We help make your first weeks in the UK as smooth as possible. See our pre-departure guide for the full checklist.
Accommodation & Guarantor Support
We help you compare on-campus halls with private student accommodation, understand the UK rent guarantor requirement, and review tenancy agreements before you leave Nepal. More in our accommodation guide.
UK SIM & Staying Connected
We help you arrange a UK SIM (for example giffgaff, Lebara or Lycamobile) before you fly, so you land with a working number to call home and verify your online accounts.
eVisa, UKVI Account & Bank Setup
Step-by-step help creating your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account and accessing your eVisa — which replaced the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) from the end of 2024 — generating a share code, and opening a UK bank account such as Monzo or Revolut in your first days (UK Home Office, gov.uk/evisa).
Student Discount Setup
We point you to the UK student and loyalty cards that help stretch a student budget:
16–25 Railcard
Save 1/3 on most UK train travel.
Tesco Clubcard
Member prices on groceries.
UNiDAYS & TOTUM
Student discounts on retail & tech.
Boots Advantage
Points on pharmacy & health.

Questions About Choosing House of Admissions
Common questions about working with House of Admissions for UK study from Nepal.
House of Admissions focuses only on UK study and is free to students — partner universities pay the agency, so there is no service fee. Founded in 2016, HOA reports 5,000+ placements and a 99% visa success rate, and supports the full journey from course selection and the Statement of Purpose to the UK Student visa and pre-departure preparation.
Yes. There is no processing or service charge to students. UK universities compensate registered agents for the students they enrol, which is how the service stays free. Students still pay official third-party costs themselves — university tuition, the £558 UK Student visa fee and the £776/year Immigration Health Surcharge (UK Home Office, gov.uk/student-visa, 2026).
HOA specialises in UK university admissions and UKVI Student visa rules rather than spreading across many destinations. This focus covers Russell Group and other UK universities, CAS guidance, and the 28-day financial-evidence requirement that applies to Nepali applicants.
Guidance continues after arrival: creating your UKVI account and accessing your eVisa (which replaced the Biometric Residence Permit from the end of 2024), opening a UK bank account, registering with an NHS GP, and settling into accommodation. Students also connect with HOA's community of Nepali students already in the UK.
No. Biometric Residence Permits were phased out; Student applications made after 31 October 2024 are eVisa-only. Instead of collecting a card, you create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account, verify your identity in the UK Immigration: ID Check app, and access your digital eVisa, sharing it with a 90-day share code (UK Home Office, gov.uk/evisa).
HOA helps you compare university halls of residence with private student accommodation, understand the UK guarantor requirement, and review tenancy agreements before you leave Nepal, so accommodation is arranged before departure. See our accommodation guide.
Yes. HOA identifies university merit scholarships (commonly £2,000–10,000+, varying by institution) applied at the offer stage, and supports applications to funded awards such as Chevening (FCDO) and GREAT. HOA reports having helped students secure £2M+ in scholarships since 2016.
HOA has two offices: Putalisadak 28, Kathmandu (Bagmati) and 3rd Floor, Trade Mall, Chipledhunga, Pokhara-8 (Gandaki). Counselling is available in person at both offices and remotely across all seven provinces of Nepal. Contact us to book.
