If I get a scholarship will it help me manage my budget for studying in the UK?
More expert answers
It depends. Whether your scholarship covers both tuition fees and living expenses in the UK will depend on the scholarship amount and your university's costs.
- Tuition fees: Typically £9,000 - £30,000/year for international postgraduates.
- Living expenses: Around £1,400/month (£16,800/year) in London or £900 - £1,300/month (£10,800 - £15,600/year) in other cities.
- Additional costs: Visa fee (£524) and Immigration Health Surcharge (£776/year), subject to change.
If, for example, your scholarship is £30,000, it usually covers tuition but may not fully cover living expenses - especially in London. Compare your scholarship amount to your total costs to determine if you need additional funding.
