Living costs: Compared to many places in the UK, for example, London, Leeds is not an expensive place to live. However, to maintain a reasonable standard of living you'll require approximately £1,015 per month for accommodation, local travel, food and entertainment. To help you calculate how much money you may require we suggest you read the useful information on living costs in the UK produced by the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) or use the free online International Student Calculator.
