On-campus postgraduate living costs

Postgraduate students in the UK are likely to pay slightly more than undergraduate students. The average cost of living on campus is around £5,500–£6,500 per year. However, it is best to consult with the institute and the Bangladeshis living there regarding this matter. Then you can make an appropriate decision when it comes to budgeting.

Living costs in private accommodation

It is natural that the cost of living in private accommodation will be higher. However, there are two ways to live in private accommodation. Number 1 is sharing a room and the other is living alone in a room or house. The details of this matter are mentioned below.

Costs of room-sharing

Before renting a house, you should look at which area has the lowest costs. Then, the roommate will have to be decided based on the rent of the house that will be rented. Sharing a room like this greatly reduces the cost of living. In such a condition you have to spend £7,000–£7,500 annually.

How much does it cost to live alone?

The cost of living alone is high in any country. The UK is no exception. Your cost of living will depend on which city you are in and what kind of apartment you are renting. Even then, it can be said that living alone in any city in the UK will cost a minimum of £8,000–£9,000

Council tax

Council tax is a special tax that homeowners and tenants have to pay to the council. By paying this tax, the council provides various services to citizens. Such as keeping the city clean, any emergency services and security services, etc. However, as a Bangladeshi student, you will need to discuss with the locals whether you will have to pay this tax. If you don't have to pay it, then your expenses have decreased a bit.
