The United Kingdom is located on the British Peninsula and is the most important country on the peninsula. Its capital is London, and it’s most important cities are Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. The United Kingdom shares land and water borders with Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France. The country has a population of 66,040,229 and an area of 242,495 square kilometers. The currency of the United Kingdom is the pound sterling and its official language is English, which is spoken in the British dialect. In the following, we will discuss the general conditions of studying in the UK.
UK student visas are known as tier 4 student visas and are divided into two groups. For children 4 to 17 years old who intend to study in UK schools, a child tire 4 visa is issued to people over 17 years old general tier 4. Applicants can apply for a visa 3 months before the start of their studies in the UK. The cost of applying for a UK student visa in both types is ۸ 328 per person. The same is true for dependent visa (spouse, partner and children under 18). Each visa applicant must pay a healthcare surcharge of 150Pounds per year per student.
This amount is 150 Pounds per year per dependent, which must be paid in one place for all years of study. Receipt of payment of this amount must be attached to the other documents for applying for a visa. The visa applicant must show that he or she is financially able to cover his or her tuition and living expenses. One has to deposit money in an account in the name of oneself or one’s parents (guardian). This amount varies according to the individual’s circumstances. This amount must also be credited to the account for a period of 28 days in a row, which must not have ended 31 days before the applicant’s request. This amount includes the cost of education and living. Tuition fee includes the cost of one year of study or the total cost if the course of study is less than one year. This fee varies depending on the degree, university or school and the field of study.
The cost of living varies depending on what city the person lives in. The fee is 1,265 Pounds per month for a person studying in London and 1,015 Pounds for other cities, which must be paid for 9 months in a person’s bank account. For example, a person admitted to a university in Manchester must have 9,135 Pounds in their bank account in addition to the cost of one year of study. The following amounts are required for each person applying for a general visa: 845 per month for London and 680 Pounds per month for other cities. If a person is applying for a child tier 4 visa, the bank account can be in his or her own name or that of a parent. However, if a person is applying for a tier 4 general visa and wants to use the financial means of his or her parents (guardian) (i.e. a bank account in the name of his or her parents or guardian), he or she must provide one of the following documents:
If a person shows that he has paid the tuition fee or part of it, the amount paid will be deducted from the amount that must be paid as tuition fees to the person’s account. Also, if the person is staying in a dormitory, the applicant can deduct this amount from the total cost of living (9 months) that he / she must show in his / her account by paying a maximum of ۶ 1265 to the dormitory. In the previous example, if a person paid 1,265 Pounds for their accommodation, the amount required would be reduced to 7870 Pounds.
