You may need to show that you have enough money to pay for your tuition fees and your living costs. If you are required to and do not show appropriate documents your visa application will be refused.

If you make a new visa application in the UK and you have been living in the UK with immigration permission (of any type) for 12 months or more on the date you apply, you will not need to meet the financial requirement. If you have not been living in the UK for 12 months or more, or are applying overseas, please read the following information carefully. 

You will need to provide specific financial evidence that you have enough funding.

On the day that you apply for your visa, i.e. the day that you submit and pay for your online Student visa application, you must show that you have held the following funds in a suitable bank account every day for a consecutive 28 day period.

Work out how much money you need

The amount required is calculated as follows:

Tuition fees + Living costs - Deductions (money already paid to the University) = Total required.

Tuition fees

Your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) shows the amount you owe in tuition fees (stated as 'course fees' on the CAS).

Living costs

The monthly amount required is £1,023.

You must show a maximum of 9 months worth of funding.

So, if your course lasts for 9 months or more you must show you have £9,207.

Course	Amount required
10 week pre-sessional starting in June	£1,023 x 3 months = £3,069
6 week pre-sessional starting in July	£1,023 x 2 months = £2,046
Pre-sessional course and degree level or above course - only if you have a combined CAS for both your pre-sessional and your main course at the University	£1,023 x 9 months = £9,207
Any course of 9 months or more	£1,023 x 9 months = £9,207
Any course of 9 months or less	£1,023 x number or months you will study, rounded up to the nearest full month. For example, if you will study for 5 and a half months, you will need to show £1,023 x 6 months = £6,138

Deductions

• The largest accommodation amount paid to the University that can be deducted is £1,334, even if you pay more.
