How much does it cost to study at Southampton Solent University?
It is very difficult to estimate an individual's living costs as we all have different lifestyle requirements and spending habits. However as a general guideline, a single student coming to Britain from overseas should allow approximately £8,000 - £9,000 to cover accommodation, heating, food, travel costs and other daily expenses for a 12 month period (excluding tuition fees).
If accompanied by a spouse or older child you should allow at least an extra £4,000 per year and a minimum of £1,500 for each accompanying young child.
