UK study costs in BDT: tuition, living, visa and IHS

Start with the exact tuition on your CAS

UK tuition varies widely by provider, course and year, so this guide does not invent a generic range. Use the course fee and any payment already recorded on your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. Check whether the published fee is annual or for the whole programme, and add deposits or compulsory course charges shown by the provider. The Student visa calculation can include outstanding course fees for up to one academic year as stated on the CAS.

Living-cost evidence as of October 2026

GOV.UK currently lists £1,529 per month in London or £1,171 per month outside London, for up to nine months, where the financial requirement applies. Nine months is £13,761 in London—about BDT 22.45 lakh at the dated rate—or £10,539 outside London—about BDT 17.19 lakh. These are visa-evidence amounts, not a promise of actual spending. Build a separate realistic budget for rent, food, transport, utilities and personal costs.

• Check whether you qualify for an exemption before relying on it.
• Where the 28-day rule applies, hold the required amount for the full period and follow the evidence date rules.
• Recalculate every BDT estimate on the day you prepare funds or make a payment.

Student visa fee and health surcharge

The Student visa application fee is £558 as of October 2026, about BDT 0.91 lakh at the dated rate. The immigration health surcharge for students is £776 per year, about BDT 1.27 lakh per charged year. The exact IHS total depends on the length of permission and how the government rounds the period, so use the official calculator rather than multiplying a guessed course length. Charges can change; verify immediately before payment.
