Healthcare is a necessity and an important service to consider when you are leaving your home country for your studies abroad. To have access to free healthcare, for the duration of your study, the UK will require you to pay an amount of £470 each year plus £235 for the extra 4 to 6 months granted in addition to your course duration, summing up to a total of £705.

For more information and calculation of your IHS, kindly visit the government website. Make sure you keep your payment receipt safe after payment.

You are halfway there! But first you need to legitimize your stay by obtaining a visa that will grant you entry into the UK and subsequently your stay. In order to obtain a visa, generally known as the Tier 4 student visa, you need to put in an online application followed by submitting your documents, fingerprints and photograph at the visa center in your respective country. Most application centers require a booking before you are allowed to make any submission. Visa fee is £348.
