All Bangladeshi students are given the chance by the UK government to study there, but you must first apply for a student visa. Your age and the kind of studies you want to undertake in the UK will determine the sort of visa you require.
The earliest you may apply for a student visa is six months before to the commencement of your degree, and under normal circumstances, you will get the verdict on your application within three working weeks.
We advise you to schedule your arrival based on the length of your course because if it is less than six months, you may come in the UK up to one week in advance, but if it is more than six months, you can arrive up to one month in advance.

Your particular permits governing whether and how you may work in the UK during or after your education will depend on your visa.
Students on full time degree-level courses holding a Student visa are permitted to work in the UK. The requirements and rules are as follows:
Student visa students can only work on a temporary basis - they cannot be employed on a permanent contract. They cannot be self-employed or set up a business, or employed as a professional sportsperson or as an entertainer.
If you have a different sort of visa, you should ask the international student advice team if you may work while you are a student. In its visa guidelines, the Home Office gives some instances of what would be deemed "engaging in business" (thus you would not be permitted to do this).
This includes:
If you are physically present in the UK while working for a firm or customer outside the UK, the job counts toward your 20-hour maximum.
It also means that if you are doing any freelance work for someone outside the UK (e.g. editing journal articles) this would count as self-employment so is not allowed.
Further details regarding working while you study are provided by UKCISA. They have also created a really helpful blog that looks at various sorts of employment that would not be authorized and addresses some of the major problems with working while you study.
Without dependents, international students studying in the UK should anticipate paying between £1300 and £1400 per month for housing, bills, food, and other living expenses in London or between £900 and £1300 in the rest of the UK.
Note that these prices assume single occupancy student housing that is not catered. Spend extra if you're interested in catered student housing.
