Singapore is generally more cost-effective than the UK for international students, both in tuition fees and living expenses.

- Tuition fees: Singapore public universities typically charge SGD 17,000 - 55,000/year, while UK universities range from £15,000 - 38,000/year.
- Living expenses: In Singapore, expect SGD 1,200 - 2,500/month. In the UK, costs are about £900 - 1,200/month outside London and £1,023 - 1,334/month in London.

Actual costs depend on your program, university, and lifestyle.
