Hey everyone,I am an international applicant (4-year Computer Science B.E. from India) waiting for final admission results for the upcoming Winter intake.

I wanted to start a tracker thread to see where the faculty review boards and database batch sweeps currently stand.

If you applied to any of these three tracks, could you please drop your details below to help us benchmark the queue?

University & Course: (e.g., Bielefeld IISy / Passau AI / Würzburg CS)

Application Submission Date: (Exact day in June/July)Current Portal Status: (e.g., "Bewerbung formal geprüft", "Valid", "Received", "In Progress")

Competency Grid Status: (Have your specific credit verification rows turned green yet?)

Offer/Rejection Date (if any):

I know some applicants from the absolute first days of June reported updates earlier, but it seems many detailed evaluation blocks are processing right now. Let’s keep each other updated!

Good luck to everyone waiting!

Hey everyone,I am an international student from India with a completed 4-year Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering, but zero full-time corporate IT experience.I hold an active CAS for an MSc Computer Science track at the University of Southampton starting this September [finance]. However, to fund this, my family will have to take on a massive ₹65 Lakh (approx. £50k) student loan liability.

I am incredibly stressed about the current ground reality in the UK tech market. I've been seeing continuous posts about hiring freezes, massive competition for entry-level roles, and tech companies completely filtering out CVs if you require Tier-2 visa sponsorship down the line.

For those currently working in UK tech, or on their 2-year Post-Study Work (PSW) visa right now:

Is it realistic for a complete fresher with zero full-time experience to land a sponsored AI/Software engineering role in this market?

Is a regional tech hub like Southampton giving any realistic localized hiring advantages, or is everyone just bottlenecked in the frozen London market?

I am simultaneously waiting on a public university admission update from Germany (which is tuition-free)Given the massive financial risk, is it wiser to wait it out for Germany or go ahead with the UK?

Hey everyone,I am an international student from India holding an official, active CAS from a top UK university for a Master's program. My course induction starts on September 14, 2026. I have already paid my £2,000 enrollment deposit to secure my seat.

My study abroad agent is heavily pressuring me to lodge my visa application immediately, claiming that because it is peak season and the induction date is approaching, the university can arbitrarily choose to withdraw my CAS if I don't use it within a week.

I am currently waiting on a public university admission update from Germany, so I want to wait a few more days before spending lakhs on the UK visa fees and health surcharge.

Can a university actually cancel a valid CAS just because an applicant waits a couple of weeks to apply, even though the deposit is paid and there are still 4 weeks left until induction starts? Or is my agent just trying to scare me into locking in his commission?

Any insights on official UKVI policy would be amazing. Thanks!
