BUDGET FOR YOUR LIVING COSTS
As well as tuition fees, you need to budget for your living costs. You must budget for a minimum of £1,023 per month (at a maximum of nine months) to cover your living expenses, according to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Therefore if you are coming to study for a course of nine months or more you will need £9,207. If you are accompanied by your family, you will need an additional £6,120 per year for your husband, wife and for each of your children. You can use this handy International Student Calculator here:

INTERNATIONAL GRANTS
LJMU Chaplains can help international students apply for small grants (typically £500) to support you while you are studying. Certain conditions apply. For more information, email: chaplaincy@ljmu.ac.uk
