Can you suggest what the university fees would be apart from the scholarships for University of Leeds?

After university scholarships, international students at Leeds typically pay between £15,750 and £30,000 per year depending on your course and the scholarship tier you secure. Leeds distributes over £14 million in scholarships annually, but almost all of these are partial awards, not full fee waivers. So your net cost still needs proper financial planning.

Net Fees by Faculty After Internal University Scholarships

If You Secure an External Scholarship

• Chevening & Commonwealth Scholarships: Cover 100% of tuition plus living stipend for eligible Master's students.

• Great Scholarships (British Council): Flat £10,000 reduction, bringing many Master's courses down to roughly £10,000-£14,000 net.

• Apply at least 12-18 months before your intended start date - these are highly competitive.

Other Costs to Budget Beyond Tuition

• Tuition deposit: £2,000 advance payment required to secure your CAS, deducted from your final tuition bill.

• Visa maintenance funds: UKVI requires £1,171/month x 9 months = £10,539 (Leeds is outside London), held for 28 consecutive days.

• Living costs in Leeds: Typically £800-£1,100/month, one of the more affordable major university cities in the UK.

My Advice

In my experience, most students come with just the headline tuition figure and don't factor in the deposit, visa funds, and living costs together. For Leeds specifically, the internal scholarships are genuinely worth applying for - the Dean's Award and Excellence Awards are merit-based and awarded automatically when you apply, so there's no separate form. But don't count on them covering more than £2,500-£5,000. If your budget is tight, I'd strongly recommend applying for Great Scholarships through the British Council alongside your university application - it's the most accessible external route to a meaningful fee reduction at Leeds.
