Funds required to evidence with CAS request

If you are applying for a Student visa from overseas, or if you are applying in the UK but have not been here with permission for 12 months or more, you must show that you have sufficient funds to cover:

• Any course fees that are outstanding on the date you submit your CAS request (course fee less any bursary, scholarship, discount, and advance tuition fee payments)
• Living costs for yourself and any eligible dependants

This calculator will identify the minimum amount you will need to evidence. You will need to provide financial documentation to evidence this amount has been held over a consecutive 28-day period – the end date of the period must be within 31 days of your subsequent visa application. 

If your money is held in a foreign currency, this should be converted into pound sterling (£) using the OANDA currency converter. When submitting your visa application, the currency conversion will be calculated using the exchange rate as it was on the date you submitted your application. You must ensure you have enough funds to match the pound sterling (£) requirement on the day of your application, so be aware of any changes in exchange rates.

Fee payment required at enrolment

At enrolment you will be required to pay a minimum of 50% of your outstanding tuition fees. This calculator will identify the amount you will need to pay at enrolment, plus the outstanding balance that will be paid at the start of your second semester.

For further information please see the 2023/24 Tuition Fee and Bursary Policy.
