The big two
- Tuition: set by the institution and the course, and it can rise each year
- Living costs: rent, food, transport and utilities. These vary hugely by city.
Costs students forget
- Application and test fees
- Visa fees and health surcharges or cover
- Deposits for accommodation
- Flights and the first month's setup costs
Funding
Scholarships exist, but they are competitive and specific. Treat any award as a bonus, not as the foundation of your plan. We can help you find options worth checking, but we cannot promise an award.
A simple method
Add tuition and twelve months of living costs, then add 10–15% as a buffer. If the total does not work, look at shorter programmes, smaller cities or a different intake.
General guidance only. Always verify requirements, costs and policies with the institution or the official government source.
