29 May 2026 · Answered by Disha Roy Choudhury · 1 min read
For Canada, tuition fees for a Master’s program typically range from CAD 15,000 to CAD 30,000 per year (INR 12-25L approx.). Living expenses (including accommodation, food, and transport) would cost approximately CAD 15,000 – 20,000 per year (approx. INR 10L – 15L) depending on the location and your lifestyle. So your total budget for a 2 year program would be about INR 40L – 80L. Programs that are 1 year of 1.5 years in duration could cost less.
In the UK, average, tuition fees for a Masters program range from £15,000 to £25,000 per year (some programs can be higher), and living expenses are around £10,000 to £15,000 per year, with London being on the higher side. So overall, you’re looking at a total budget of roughly £25,000 to £40,000 per year, which is about ₹32–52 lakhs.
