The University of Derby says current students from Pakistan and Bangladesh are not affected.
The University of Derby has paused the recruitment of students from two countries after the Home Office tightened visa-compliance rules.
The move will affect applicants from Pakistan and Bangladesh, with the university stating it is due to visa refusal rates for the two countries being too high.
Last May, the government published a White Paper proposing changes to the immigration system, external, including stripping universities of their licence to sponsor international students if they had a visa refusal rate above 10%.
A university spokesperson said students who had already been sponsored - with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) document - could proceed with their application.
