The typical total annual budget for studying design in the UK is £22,800 - £58,800/year. This includes tuition, visa fees, and living expenses.

- Tuition fees: £10,000 - £40,000/year (varies by university and program)
- Visa fees: £348 (student visa) + £470/year (Immigration Health Surcharge, IHS)
- Living expenses: £12,000 - £18,000/year (higher in London, lower in other cities)

These figures are current estimates and subject to change based on your chosen university, city, and lifestyle. If you need help estimating costs for your preferred program, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist.
