Studying in the UK is exciting, but it also can
be very expensive! In order to receive your Visa,
you will need to prove that you have enough money
to pay for your course fees and your living costs
in the UK. The Home Office calls this
the maintenance requirements. We have created
this summary to help you understand the financial
aspect of your international application.

Course fees Home Office and the University
require you to prove that you have enough money
to pay the tuition fees for the first year of
your course. The sum of these fees varies
depending on which educational institution you
have applied for, but they can be as much as
20,000 per year. When you receive your CAS code
from your university, the Home Office can use the
code to confirm how much money you need for your
course fees. Please note that if you have paid
your course fees or not, this will be confirmed
on your CAS.

Living costs The Home Office uses fixed amounts
to determine if you are able to sustain yourself
while living in the UK. These amounts in theory
reflect the UK living costs.

Studying in London will require evidence
of 1,265 per month, for a maximum of 9 months.
Therefore, if you are studying a one year course,
the amount which you will need is 11,385
approximately. Studying elsewhere in the UK the
living cost decreases to 1,015 per month,
therefore the total required for a full year of
study is 9,135 approximately. The University
should provide you with the start and end date of
your course, and it should be stated on their
website. Alternatively, you can figure out the
start and end dates of your course, by simply
referring to your CAS. When figuring out the
living costs please make sure to round up any
incomplete months.
