Other costs to consider for international students
In addition to your course fees, you should also consider other costs including visa applications and accommodation costs, if relevant.
Accommodation
Middlesex has five halls of accommodation for you to choose from. It’s a great way to make new friends and settle in.
If you need to book accommodation you will need to consider the cost of this too. At Middlesex, we have a number of halls of residence for you to choose from. All of our rooms are single occupancy - you won't share a bedroom with anyone else but you might share kitchen and bathroom facilities depending on your room choice.
Before you move into your accommodation you will need to pay £300 advanced rent payment. This payment can only be made once you have an offer to study with us. There is no deadline to apply for accommodation although it’s good to apply as soon as you can as places are limited.
Visa
When you apply for your visa, whether that's through your local visa application centre or online, you will need to pay an application fee. The cost of a Student Visa application is £490. This also applies to applications to extend or switch to this type of visa.
Visa financial requirements
You need to show that you have course fees for one academic year, and enough money to support yourself. This is currently calculated as £1,334 per month for 9 months (£12,006) unless your course is shorter than 9 months. For each dependent, you must add £845 per month. There will also be additional application fees.
You will not need to show you have the course fee if you have already been in the UK for over 12 months.
Any money must have been in your account for 28 consecutive days. The bank statement cannot be more than one month old when you apply for your visa.
If you have a student loan or financial sponsorship, you’ll need to provide evidence of this from your loan or sponsorship provider.
You will need to pay a healthcare surcharge of £776/year, reduced to £388 if you are staying for less than six months. This fee also applies to dependents.
These figures are accurate as of April 2024, and are subject to change. You must make sure that you meet the requirements in place at the time you submit your visa application.
