Funding for international students

As an international student, you should think carefully about the costs involved before coming to study in the UK.

International students cannot get financial help from the UK government. You should therefore make sure that you have the money to fund your studies.


How much will I need?

To get a visa as an international student, you will need to show that you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees and living costs for the duration of your course. 

You tuition fees will depend on your course.

The money you need to cover the day-to-day costs of living will depend on your lifestyle choices. The cost of living information gives you guidance about how much you will need.


Scholarships for international students

There are a number of scholarships for international students who want to study at the University.
