University of Leicester fees for Indian students depend on course level, fee year, intake, and United Kingdom (UK) visa timing. All amounts use pound sterling (GBP) and Indian rupee (INR) conversions. Postgraduate (PG) tuition spans £21,400 (INR 27.93 Lakhs) to £24,250 (INR 31.65 Lakhs) in 2026/27. Undergraduate (UG) tuition spans £20,200 (INR 26.36 Lakhs) to £30,150 (INR 39.35 Lakhs) annually. Master of Science (MSc) Advanced Computer Science costs £24,250 (INR 31.65 Lakhs) for one year.
Leicester’s university Cost of Attendance benchmark uses £225 (INR 29,365) weekly housing on campus. Its off-campus housing benchmark is £175 (INR 22,839) weekly. Food, personal costs, and local transport add £160 (INR 20,882) weekly. A 52-week PG living budget therefore reaches £17,420 (INR 22.73 Lakhs) to £20,020 (INR 26.13 Lakhs).
University accommodation gives a defined contract, while private housing needs separate lease and bill checks. The January 2027 PG route is realistic after the September 2026 visa deadline passed. A representative MSc Advanced Computer Science first-year budget is INR 56.12 Lakhs to INR 59.52 Lakhs before discounts. Exchange rate: £1 = INR 130.51, using the supplied open.er-api.com rate for 25 August 2026.
The next fee year for September 2027 is not published. Use 2026/27 figures only until Leicester releases new rates.
