Introduction:
The United Kingdom (UK) is the ultimate study destination for many international
students because of its academic excellence and student life.

If you have decided to pursue your higher education in the UK, it will be a prudent
decision to comprehend the various components of the cost of studying in the country.

Tuition fees have increased steadily over the years, and international students should
fork out roughly £10,000 – £38,000 for specialized degrees in medicine or other
disciplines. The cost of studying in the UK varies based on the institution and course you
are applying to. Humanities and social science degrees are comparatively affordable,
while clinical and laboratory programs are costlier. Also, the average study cost in the UK
is estimated at roughly £22,200 annually, whereas studying in London will be
comparatively costlier than in other cities and towns.

In the UK, universities have shorter programs than in the United States and other
countries (3 years for average bachelor's degrees than 4 years and 1 year for master's
degrees rather than 2 years). Thus, this may lead to sizable savings in living costs and
tuition fees for a year, thereby balancing the equation considerably.

Highlights

play a crucial role in analyzing the overall cost of studying in the UK. We have bifurcated
the cost of studying in the UK into three parts:
• Cost of Education
• Living Expenses
• Other Essential Expenses

Now, let us delve deeper into each element one by one.

1. Cost of Education

component of the total cost. Here is a handy guide towards leading private and public
universities if you are looking for the cost of study in the UK for international students.

London, whereas £900 and £1300 in the rest of the UK.

Tips to Manage the Cost of


Studying in UK
The cost of studying in the UK for International students can be somewhat expensive.
The high university fees in UK universities, combined with the expenses of maintaining
a decent lifestyle, can become significantly burdensome for students. Nonetheless,
there are several ways through which students can save money. Some of them are
listed below:

Student Discounts:
There are great student rebates on everything in the UK, from shopping at the supermar-
ket to purchasing movie tickets. These discounts can assist you in managing your living
expenses in the UK, so these should be utilized as much as possible.

Transportation Cards:
To save money on transportation, you must have considered using public transport, and
in that case, you should take a transport card that also gives students discounts. For
instance, using a rail card or an Oyster card for your daily travel can help you save a lot.

Part-time Jobs:
To supplement your budget as a student in the UK, you should find a part-time job that
will earn you some extra money. Overseas students are allowed to work 20 hours a
week in UK and earn around £10 – £12 per hour.

Cheaper Alternatives:
Although an oft-suggested thing, you must try buying cheaper substitutes when shop-
ping in supermarkets. If your budget is tight, try not to buy luxurious or imported items.
09

Scholarships:
When it comes to covering the cost of living in the UK for students, scholarships are the
best option. Various scholarships available in the UK may either cover your tuition
expenses or the entire cost of living. Research the different scholarships and apply for
the one that suits you best.

1. What are the average salaries after studying in the UK for international
students?
International students in the UK make an average of £71,000 per year. However,
depending on criteria like education, years of experience, location, course, university,
industry, etc., this income range might vary from £18,000 to £317,000.

2. Can Indian students study in the UK for free?


No, Indian students cannot study for free in the UK because there isn't a single university
in the nation that waives all tuition costs. However, numerous public and private scholar
ships are available in the UK that can assist you in covering your tuition costs and, in many
cases, other expenses. Working part-time is another way you can increase your scholarship
allowance.

3. Is London expensive to study in?


London can be a costlier study location for international students compared to other parts
of England since the tuition prices are greater, as are the costs of housing, food, and
transportation.
