Live in UK
The cost of living in the UK
Estimates show that you allow £7,500 (or £800 per month) if you will be living in London and £5,500 (or £600 per month) if you will be living outside London. These prices include the cost of accommodation, heating, lighting, food, clothing, books and daily travel for one person for a nine-month academic year. Housing in London can be expensive so you will need to budget carefully.
Medical care in the UK
If your course is six months or more (or a course for any length in Scotland) you will qualify for NHS treatment from the beginning of your stay. For this you must register with a GP within the first couple of weeks of arriving in the UK. The institution you attend may have a list of local surgeries. Some surgeries may have limited places so you will need to register as soon as possible.
Trips and Tours
While in the UK, you may wish to do a fair bit of sightseeing, not only will this improve your knowledge of the UK, but also make your visit worthwhile. Who knows, you may have a few tales to tell when you return to your home country.
