What the fee figure leaves out

A published fee is not what you pay

214 courses here, across 19 universities, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:

The published international fee is the first-year rate. Manchester reserves the right to increase it by up to 7% for each subsequent academic year, so a full degree costs more than the first-year figure multiplied by its length.

“Tuition fees for international students will be £37,800 for the 2026/27 academic year. For subsequent academic years, the University reserves the right to increase the tuition fee by up to 7% each year including to reflect rising costs associated with delivering our education and wider student…”

What it costs to live

Student housing published by the university itself or by the body that runs its halls, cheapest first. Shown in the currency and period each one publishes — not converted, because a converted rent is a worse number than the real one.

How the United Kingdom compares with other countries

Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it.
