The overall budget covers all costs for your Master's abroad: tuition, living expenses, visa fees, and health insurance.

For Germany:
- Tuition: Most public universities charge no tuition; expect a semester fee of €150 - €400 (₹13,500 - ₹36,000).
- Living expenses: Around €850 - €1,200/month (₹76,500 - ₹1,08,000).
- Blocked account: €11,208/year (₹10,08,720), required for your visa and used for living costs.

For the UK:
- Tuition: £14,000 - £38,000/year (₹14.8 - ₹40.8 lakh), depending on university and course.
- Living expenses: £950 - £1,250/month (₹95,000 - ₹1,25,000).
- Visa and health surcharge: IHS is £776/year (₹76,000), plus proof of funds required for the visa.

These amounts are typical and subject to change. Your actual costs will depend on your university, city, and lifestyle. For a detailed estimate based on your choices, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
