The Cost of Living and Studying in Bradford

English Language CentreBefore you come to Bradford College to begin your studies, you must make sure that you have enough money to pay all of your course fees and to support yourself and any dependents throughout the length of your course.  This is to ensure that your stay is successful and happy, avoiding unnecessary hardship.  You will also be required to prove that you have enough money when applying for a visa, according to the new rules (see the information on visas).

Although Bradford is comparatively cheap, living and studying in the UK may cost more than in your home country, and even if you are being funded through an official organisation such as your government, you may find you have to adjust your standard of living or lifestyle.  This information should enable you to understand how much money you need in the UK so that you can plan ahead for your time here.  Please also bear in mind that the exchange rate could fluctuate whilst you are studying here, so the value of your currency could diminish in relation to pound sterling.

Do not assume you can bring less money with you and that you will manage.
