- Living expenses: £8,000 - £16,000/year (accommodation, food, transport, personal costs).
- Visa fee: £524 (one-time, subject to change).
- IHS: £776/year (subject to change).
Actual costs vary by university, course, city, and scholarship amount. For a tailored budget plan, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
