Did you know Brits drink about 100 million cups of tea daily? That sounds a lot, but that's not the only astounding fact about the UK; apparently, the UK attracts more international students than any other country. Studying in the UK can be an exciting journey, but let's be honest, this one question always lingers in every aspirant's mind: What's the cost of studying in the UK?
Why Study in the UK?
Cost of Studying in UK for Indian Students
Course | Duration | Estimated Range of Tuition Fees (in GBP) |
Undergraduate Courses (UG) | 3-4 years | £11,400 - £38,000 |
Post-graduate Courses (PG) | 1-2 years | £9,000 - £30,000 |
The above range is generic, as the fees generally depend on the student's chosen program and university. The price range may increase in the capital, metropolitan & major cities, and vice versa in less populated areas. As tuition fees vary by course and university, students are advised to contact Canam Consultants for more detailed and in-depth information.
Cost of living in UK for International Students
Main Categories | Options | Estimated Range in GBP |
Accommodation | • Student dorms • Shared flats • Private studios/ apartments | • £400 - £800+ • £600 - £1200+ (in London) |
Food | • Self-cooking • Eating out | £200 - £300 |
Transportation | • Public transport • Cycling | £50 - £120 (30% off standard tube & bus fare with student Oyster Card) |
Bills | • Utilities • Electricity • Water • Internet | £50 - £100 |
Apart from these four main expenses, you'll also need some budget for other expenses such as phone bills, clothes, entertainment, and socializing. Modifying your lifestyle can cover all these monthly miscellaneous expenses under £100 - £200. To minimize the burden on your pockets, you can also consider choosing a less populated city or finding a part-time job in the UK to cover your expenses.
Work Opportunities on UK Study Visa
Types of Jobs | Description |
On-campus jobs | Many universities in the UK offer part-time jobs for students in libraries, cafes, administrative offices, or student support services. |
Retail and hospitality | This sector offers various positions and flexible hours that are suitable for students. |
Tutoring and language teaching | If you have a strong grasp of a subject or your native language, you can consider tutoring other students. |

Money Saving Hacks for Students
Living as a student, even in a foreign land, can be a financial rollercoaster. Between textbooks, rent, and that sudden craving for bubble tea, your wallet may feel lighter than air. But fear not! Here are some ingenious hacks to save money and cover the cost of studying in the UK as an Indian student.Search for student discounts | One of the biggest benefits of being a UK student is the discounts that come with it. Students can enjoy discounts on online and offline platforms such as gyms and Spotify. You can also consider getting a TOTUM card. TOTUM membership comes with hundreds of student discounts, great deals, and free student membership. You do have to pay the annual renewal fee though, which costs £14.99 for 1 year and £24.99 for 3 years (a win-win deal considering all the discounts and offers). |
Befriend the library | You can save a lot on textbooks by using the books available at your university's library. You can also consider borrowing books, accessing online academic journals, and finding free study spaces. |
Shop smart | Try shopping from low-cost supermarkets to save money. Try to buy in bulk at store closing times, and don't forget to ask for a student discount if applicable! |
Use alternative transportation | Invest in a bicycle to enjoy eco-friendly rides. You can also invest in a National Railcard to save 30 percent on train travel. Consider asking friends who already live in the UK or expert guides for more insights. |
