Tuition fees

Undergraduate fees for international students are typically approximately £12,000 to £25,000 per year, and postgraduate fees are typically approximately £13,000 to £30,000 per year, depending on the university and subject. Always check the university's official fee schedule.

Living costs

Living costs vary by city, but a typical approximate range is £900 to £1,400 per month, higher in London. Budget for accommodation, food, travel and study materials, and check the government's minimum maintenance funds guidance for your visa application.

Scholarships

  • Chevening Scholarships (postgraduate, government-funded)
  • GREAT Scholarships (selected subjects and countries)
  • University-specific international scholarships and early-application bursaries

Work opportunities

Student visa holders are typically permitted to work part-time during term time, up to a limit set by the Home Office, and more during official holidays. Limits and conditions can change, so check your visa conditions directly with official sources before relying on them.

Post-study options

The Graduate Route has historically allowed eligible graduates to stay and work for a period after finishing a degree. Eligibility, duration and rules are set by the UK government and are subject to change, so check gov.uk for the current position before making plans.
