The information below is provided as a rough guide to average living costs (excluding tuition fees) for the different categories of student. The exact amount you need to live on will depend on your individual needs.
In addition to the costs below there may be initial "start up" costs which might vary according to what you are able to bring with you, or there may be unforeseen costs. And if you are an International student and require a student VISA to study in the UK, you will also have to comply with the minimum funding required for this.
