Budget for your living costs
As well as tuition fees, you need to budget for your living costs.
You must budget for a minimum of £1,136 per month (on or after 2 January 2025) (at a maximum of nine months) to cover your living expenses, according to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Therefore if you are coming to study for a course of nine months or more you will need £10,224.
