With a scholarship, the minimum education budget to study in the UK is typically £15,000 to £33,000 per year. This includes reduced tuition fees (after scholarship), living expenses, visa fee, and the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).

- Tuition (with scholarship): Scholarships usually reduce tuition by £2,000 - £10,000 per year.
- 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.
