Most UK universities require a deposit of £1,000 - £5,000 to secure your master's place before you can apply for your visa. Many universities typically ask for £1,500 - £2,500. Some may require a higher deposit, especially if you need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for your Student visa.

This deposit is usually deducted from your total tuition fees and is often non-refundable except in cases like visa refusal.

LeapScholar can help you confirm the exact deposit amount for your chosen university and guide you through the payment process.
