How much money do you need?
This page explains how much money you need in order to cover your course fees and your living costs when you apply for an adult student visa under Tier 4 (General) of our points-based system.
The money you will need depends on the length of your course and the location where you will study.
To score 10 points in our points assessment, you must show that you can pay your course fees for your first period of study (or for your next period of study, if you are applying to continue a course) and your living costs for up to nine months.
When you have calculated how much money you will need (see below), the
Evidence required section explains how you can prove that you have this amount of money.

are currently studying a single course, of which they have completed at least six months; or
