Fees for international students

It is important to think about not only your tuition and accommodation costs but the cost of living too.

The minimum cost of living as recommended by UKVI for studying outside London is £1,136 per month, but will vary from student to student. This is a guideline to cover items like accommodation, food, laundry, books, clothes, toiletries and socialising. For up to date information, visit Student visa: Money you need - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

  • Currently the maintenance level is set at £1,483/month for those studying in London and £1,136 for people studying outside of London.

Tuition fees (listed below) will be an additional cost, as well as student insurance, the health care surcharge and transfers to and from the airport.

Additional information

All international students should have accident and medical insurance for the duration of their time in the UK. This will make you feel more secure because not having the proper coverage can be extremely difficult and expensive.

You can take out our own StudyCare Insurance policy or alternative cover with a third party. The StudyCare Insurance policy covers loss of personal possessions as well as providing health and medical insurance. It is specifically designed for international students’ needs during your studies at the International Study Centre and, if required, after progressing to your university. Insurance cover is offered for flexible terms of up to 12 or 24 months (fixed), allowing you to choose a policy duration that fits your needs. If you select 24 months, you will be covered for the duration of your pathway programme plus the first year of your degree.

We ensure that all students under the age of 18 have a UK-based educational guardian in place. For applicants who require support with arranging guardianship, we work with our recommended AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider to help facilitate this.
