Cost Of Studying In The UK

England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are all part of the United Kingdom, however their tuition rates are different from one another. Costs for higher education in the United Kingdom vary widely according to the student’s intended course of study, institution of higher learning, and location within the country. The average cost of a British education is less than that of an Australian or American one, making it a wise financial decision to study there.

The average cost of an UK education ranges from £10,000 to £26,000 per year. The monthly housing and food expenses of an international student average between £800 and £1,300.

The standard length of time spent earning a bachelor’s degree in the United Kingdom is three years.

STUDY PROGRAM	AVERAGE TUITION FEE IN GBP (£)
Undergraduate Bachelor Degree	£6,000 to £16,000 yearly
Postgraduate master’s degree	£10,000 to £20,000 yearly
Doctoral Degree	£13,000 to £29,000 yearly

UK STUDENT DEPENDENT VISA

Where to Apply
Dependents should apply for nationality or country of residence in their country, just like they would for a Student Visa. The form will be filled out online. For each dependent, you must fill out a separate application.
As part of the online application process in most countries, a time is set up to go to the visa application centre to enrol biometrics and turn in supporting papers.

Financial Requirements
Dependents who want a visa must have enough money to cover their living costs in the UK. The visa can be obtained for £680 per month, up to a limit of 9 months. That’s a total of £6,120 per dependent if the visa is given for 9 months or more (9 x £680).
This requirement can be met with a bank account or letter from the bank. The money must be in the name of the student or the name of the student’s spouse or partner. If the person with the UK Student Visa has an official sponsor who pays for the living costs of any dependents, the sponsor can write a letter saying this to meet the financial requirements.

AFTER GRADUATION

International students who have graduated and are still in the UK on a valid student visa can stay if they have a job offer with a yearly salary of at least GBP 20,800.
Students who want to stay in the UK after they finish their studies in the UK must switch to a Tier 2 General Visa, which lasts up to five years.
Students who work while in school may be able to get permanent residency if they make at least GBP 35,000 a year.
