Any UK university is going to expect full fees from you. That’s not just the tuition fees charged to UK students (with the current maximum of £3,145 a year), but a price based on the total cost of your course – anything from around £4,000, up to around £18,000. They’ll probably even want to make a bit of profit out of you.

Contact the university for details of international students’ fees for individual courses. They should also be able to advise you on any university bursaries or grants for international students and there may be help from your government or another organisation in your own country.

The UK higher education system is considered to be of a pretty high standard and, since in some countries you’d have to pay all the costs anyway, it may work out cheaper and better to study here.

Living Expenses
The support buck only goes as far as tuition fees. EU students can’t apply for a UK student loan, maintenance grant or the Access to Learning Fund. Well, they can apply but they’ll be turned down, so there’s not much point.

The SOCRATES-ERASMUS and Leonardo Programmes all splash out grants to promote the exchange of students and academic staff around Europe.
