Is it possible to study abroad with a budget of thirty lakh rupees in UK/Ireland?
Yes, studying abroad with a budget of ₹30 lakh is possible in both the UK and Ireland, but you’ll need to plan carefully to stay within your budget.
- UK: Annual tuition typically ranges from £12,000 - £25,000. Living costs vary by city, with London being more expensive (£1,200 - £1,500/month) and other cities lower (£800 - £1,200/month). Total yearly cost: about £20,400 - £45,000.
- Ireland: Tuition is usually €12,000 - €25,000/year. Living costs in Dublin are higher (€2,600 - €4,000/month), but cities like Cork, Galway, and Limerick are more affordable (€1,000 - €2,000/month). Total yearly cost: about €26,000 - €58,000, depending on location.
Scholarships like the Chevening (UK) and Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship can help reduce costs.
Your budget is better suited for Ireland (outside Dublin) or for UK universities with lower tuition. Applying for scholarships and choosing affordable cities will be key.
