Cost of MSC?

Options
Is around 11k reasonable?

I estimated

4k tution fees
39 * £80 = £3120 accomodation
£100 a week spending money for 39 weeks = £3900

Total £11020

I be living out of London, I don't think I be going out much as I will be looking for a job.

Anyone know what the cost would be? I don't think I can get any sort of support.

Thanks

    I wouldn't have thought 100 a week would be enough for spending money.

    Tuition fees for MSc's vary greatly, and can be up to £12000 per academic year. Have you checked for the university that you are interested in? x
    Gone ... or have I?

    i agree with dmg24 - the living costs and fees will be dependent on your uni and your course. it's also worth finding out how the uni will want your fees paid. i had to pay mine in 3 installments so even if you will work enough to cover it, it's tough to come up with the first payment of over £1000, even if you'll get that from the job you get. helps to know that kind of thing in advance!

    It can be for some people. I'm a UG student in London, and I budget on £54 a week (exempting rent/bills/transport), and I sometimes don't even spend that much - this is on a socialising bill of zero or not much over, though. Depends on circumstances, area, and lifestyle.
