If you do not receive a scholarship, you should plan your master's finances carefully to cover all costs.

- Tuition fees: UK universities typically have higher tuition than French public universities. In France, public university fees for non-EU students are usually lower, but private institutions may charge more.
- Living expenses: The UK (especially London) is generally more expensive than most French cities. In France, costs vary by location, with Paris being the most expensive.
- Funding options: The UK offers a Postgraduate Master's Loan (subject to change) for eligible students, which can help with tuition and living costs. In France, government loans may be available, but eligibility varies.
- Part-time work: Both the UK and France allow international students to work up to 20 hours per week during term time, which can help with living expenses.
- Visa and insurance: Both countries require proof of funds for your visa and health insurance coverage.

Prepare a detailed budget for tuition, accommodation, daily expenses, and emergencies.
