University of London Courses and Fees 2026

University of London fees for Indian students depend on the programme, payment route, and intake deadline. The Yusuf Ali Scholarship closes on 3 September 2026. Postgraduate (PG) tuition ranges from £10,478 (INR 13.49 Lakhs) to £13,697 (INR 17.64 Lakhs) before Goods and Services Tax (GST). Undergraduate (UG) tuition ranges from £14,666 (INR 18.89 Lakhs) to £21,829 (INR 28.11 Lakhs) for Bachelor of Science (BSc) Computer Science. The Global Master of Business Administration (MBA) costs £13,697 (INR 17.64 Lakhs) before GST.

The distance-learning route does not require London accommodation or a United Kingdom (UK) residence. University of London online students still budget for Indian housing, food, internet, devices, and study time. The supplied records publish no required London living-cost figure for online registration.

A representative PG route, Master of Science (MSc) Data Science, costs £10,478 (INR 13.49 Lakhs) before GST. With 18% GST, tuition becomes INR 15.92 Lakhs. The online route adds no required UK rent, food, or transport budget. The British pound sterling (GBP) is shown as £, and conversions use the Indian rupee (INR).

Exchange rate: £1 = INR 128.77, using the supplied 14 August 2026 rate.

Cost of Living in London for Indian Students

INR 0 is the required UK residence budget for the online-from-India route. University of London distance learning does not require campus accommodation, a London lease, or a residence radius.

Private Housing Near London for Indian Students

• On-campus availability is not part of this distance-learning route.
• No UK accommodation deposit or lease length is required for online registration.
• Indian housing, food, transport, devices, and internet remain personal expenses.
• Relocation creates a separate London budget and immigration decision.

A zero overseas living line leaves tuition and GST as the main budget drivers for the October 2026 and February 2027 cohorts.

University of London Tuition Deposit and Payment Options

N/A is the only safe standard-deposit value because no single deposit amount appears in the supplied distance-learning records. Course invoices control later module payments.

Fee Saving Strategies for Indian Students

• On-campus living is not a saving lever because the online route requires no UK residence.
• Existing employment can continue during distance learning, subject to personal workload.
• Section 80E of India’s Income Tax Act may affect education-loan interest. Confirm eligibility with a tax adviser.
• The BSc Computer Science band spans £7,163 (INR 9.22 Lakhs), so confirm the applicable fee tier.
• The UK Graduate Route is not available from this online route because Student Visa sponsorship does not apply.

Compare the net invoice after GST, scholarship credit, and any module charge before choosing the October 2026 or February 2027 cohort.

Is University of London Worth the Cost for Indian Students

INR 15.92 Lakhs covers MSc Data Science tuition and GST without a required UK relocation budget. That structure can suit applicants who need recognised study while remaining employed in India.

A loan of INR 15.92 Lakhs requires about INR 21,500 monthly over ten years at 10.5%. Compare that EMI with the expected monthly salary increase after completing the programme.

No current official employment rate, median graduate salary, or subject ranking is supplied in the permitted records. Those figures are omitted rather than estimated.

The UK Graduate Route does not apply to this online-from-India route. A UK Student Visa is not required for the distance-learning format.
