Yes, Scotland is a strong option for your master's if you want lower living costs.

Monthly expenses in Scottish cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh typically range from £950 - £1,400, which is generally lower than London and parts of southern England. Tuition fees and daily expenses such as accommodation, food, and transport are also more budget-friendly.

Scotland also offers respected universities and a two-year post-study work visa (PSW), allowing you to gain work experience after graduation. This makes Scotland a practical and cost-effective choice for Indian students pursuing a master's degree.
