For a UK master's, expect total costs (tuition + living + visa) of £20,800 - £44,000/year, depending on course and location. You must also show proof of funds for your visa.

- Tuition: £9,000 - £30,000/year (varies by university and program)
- Living expenses (proof required):
- London: £1,529/month (up to £13,761 for 9 months)
- Outside London: £1,171/month (up to £10,539 for 9 months)
- Visa application fee: £524 (subject to change)
- Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS): £776/year (subject to change)

You must hold the required funds in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days before applying for your visa. These figures are typical but subject to change. For detailed planning, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
