Yes, besides tuition fees, you’ll need to budget for several other expenses when planning to study in the UK or Singapore. Typical costs (subject to change) include:

- Visa and health fees: UK Student Visa (£490) plus Immigration Health Surcharge (£776/year); Singapore Student Pass (S$30 application + S$60 issuance).
- Accommodation: UK university halls £800 - 1,005/month; Singapore on-campus S$450 - 900/month.
- Living expenses: UK £1,000 - 1,800/month; Singapore S$1,000 - 1,700/month.
- Study materials: UK £300 - 800/year; Singapore S$30 - 80/month.
- Transport: UK £50 - 310/month; Singapore S$80 - 130/month.
- Other documentation: Medical check-ups, application fees, and initial deposits may apply.
