Your course fees cover the cost of studies and include loads of great benefits, such as the use of our library, support from our expert team and free use of the IT equipment across the campus.
Estimated Monthly Costs
The cost of living for a student in Nottingham remains cheaper than in other big cities in the UK. How much you spend of course will depend on your own lifestyle. You may find that the costs of goods and services in the UK are different to those in your own country and this can take some time to get used to.
As an international student at TEC, it is really important that you are well-prepared and budget carefully because it is not just your fees you will need to pay. You will have immediate costs when you arrive, and daily, weekly and monthly expenses too.
The average monthly cost of being a student in Nottingham depends very much on your own lifestyle. Here is an approximate guide to what you can expect to pay monthly as a student here using insights from the National Student Money Survey 2025.
- Groceries: £144 – £200
- Socialising (e.g. eating out with friends, takeaway food): £66
- Travel: £69
- Household bills (often included in the price of accommodation): £79
- Clothes and shopping: £48
- Mobile phone contract: £24
- Health and wellbeing (e.g gym membership): £26
Accommodation is the biggest expense for most students. The monthly cost of accommodation can depend on a number of things such as:
- The number of people you live with;
- The amount of space you have;
- Any private facilities (such as an en-suite shower room);
- The location of the property;
- Whether or not bills are included.
We advise an approximate average monthly amount of between £580 – £1,250
Paying fees
As an international student, you will need to make an advance payment of £3,000 when you have accepted your offer to study at TEC through a secure link of Flywire payments. You will then need to pay your remaining tuition fees in full before the start date of your course.
