Funding your course
There are ways you may be able to fund your course. Here are a few options:
- Leeds Beckett International Scholarship to cover some of your course fees
- US Direct Loan, if you're from the USA
- Sponsorship from a Government body in your country
- Commonwealth or Chevening Scholarship
If you are from the EU you may be able to apply for a student loan to cover the cost of your undergraduate or postgraduate course. Find out more by visiting our EU financing your studies page.
Paying your course fees
If you are offered a place on a course, your offer letter will contain details of your tuition fees. If you are from outside the EU, you will need to pay a minimum of 50% of your fees before you start your course.
If you require a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number to obtain a UK visa to study in the UK before a CAS number can be issued to you, you will need to:
- Pay a minimum of 50% of your first-year tuition fees to Leeds Beckett University,
or
send a copy of your official sponsor letter to cas@leedsbeckett.ac.uk Sponsored students are usually sponsored by a government, employer or another official organisation. You are not a sponsored student if a family member or friend is providing you with financial assistance. - Pay the remainder of your course fees within three months of starting your course.
Alumni discount
A 10% discount on your first-year tuition fee is available if you have graduated with a Leeds Beckett undergraduate degree and register for one of our postgraduate courses.
To find out whether you are eligible for this discount, please read our conditions for further information and contact fees@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
Annual living costs
In addition to tuition fees, we recommend that you prepare a budget to cover other costs, including accommodation, food, transport and social activities. Please see below guidance for further information.
Living Costs - Per month example*
| Accommodation | £750 |
| Food | £120 |
| Other living costs (phone, clothes, socialising) | £145 |
| One month | £1,015 |
Using the above as an example, the estimated living costs for one academic year would be £9,135.†
If you're applying for a Tier 4 Student Visa, you will need to show that you have enough money in your bank account to pay your living costs for one year. Additionally, if you have paid 50% of your tuition fees, you will need to show that you have the funds to pay for the remaining amount. Please see the links below for further guidance on your finances.
†You will need to show the UK Visa and Immigration office that you have enough funds to cover your living costs up to a maximum of nine months, a total of £9,135. Visit Applying for Your Visa for more information.
