Is TEDI-London UKVI-approved and does it have degree-awarding powers?

TEDI-London has the right to sponsor students on Student Visas, and it’s looking to gain status as a sponsor with ‘a record of compliance’ with UKVI as soon as possible. This is normal and required by all new sponsoring higher education institutions in the UK. 

During this period, sponsored international students are unable to work in the UK whilst studying.  

In addition, TEDI-London already has new degree-awarding powers from the Office for Students (OfS), and obtained this in September 2021 when it first opened its doors. You can see details of the Office for Students order granting TEDI-London degree-awarding powers on the OfS website.
