Common questions about National Oceanography Centre
- Is National Oceanography Centre a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. National Oceanography Centre in Southampton holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2019. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can National Oceanography Centre sponsor?
- National Oceanography Centre is licensed for Government Authorised Exchange and Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Temporary Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is National Oceanography Centre based?
- The register lists National Oceanography Centre at National Oceanography Centre, European Way, Southampton, United Kingdom, SO14 3ZH. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
- How current is this information?
- This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 11444362. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
