Can you explain what the deposit means and how much it will cost in UK/Germany for a Master's?
A deposit is an upfront payment required by universities to secure your place in a master's program. This amount is usually deducted from your total tuition fees when you enroll.
- UK: The deposit varies by university and program. For example, some universities may require deposits ranging from £2,500 to £8,000. This is separate from the funds you need to show for your student visa.
- Germany: Most public universities do not charge tuition fees, but you’ll typically pay a semester contribution of about €300/semester. For your visa, you must also deposit €11,208 into a blocked account to cover living expenses.
Deposit amounts and requirements are subject to change. For detailed guidance based on your target universities, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
