Living Costs
Accommodation
This cost can be expensive. The cheapest way of living fairly centrally is to stay in a hostel. From around £ 240 per week you can stay in dormitory accommodation with meals provided.
As a guide, we usually suggest that you budget for roughly £ 300 per week for a twin room and meals. Approximately £ 430 per week for a single room and meals.
In search for place to live in London the college has a list of accommodations which is easily accessible in the college reception and for overseas students the list can be provided to them through the agent or via request to the college email.
The students can try the websites; we will provide on request as their one-stop-shop for finding the perfect place to live and allows the student to:
Search for properties advertised by private landlords and other students
Post messages about the kind of room (or roommate) you’re looking for
Create your own property shortlist
Search travel times
Find advice on private housing – and lots more
To find out more please request the college for future details on websites.
As a student, you are entitled to council tax exemption. For further information about how to get the council tax exemption letter, please contact the college directly.
Public Transport
Another major cost is public transport in London. The London Underground, or ‘tube’, is expensive but red London buses are cheaper. Allow for approximately £ 80 to £ 180 per month. This would depend on the Zone you would travel in from and how often. Students will be provided with a student discount facility on their weekly travel and can save some money.

Other costs
Books, exam registration fees and of course some money for entertainment.
