Cost of living in the UK Academic Technology The UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) Approval Scheme regularly reviews and sets the minimum (ATAS) clearance living cost requirements for students studying in universities in or outside certification from London. This is the same amount which The Foreign and is needed for your visa application too. At the moment, for students studying Commonwealth Office outside London the required funds are £9,135 per 9 months academic year or £1,015 per month. Please be aware that this monthly recommended amount does not include your tuition fees. The recommended amount is the minimum funds required to cover living costs and your budget should reflect your own priorities – for example, you may wish to spend a little more on books and a little less on clothes. Please visit the UKVI website for the most up-to-date information about the cost of living in the UK.
