Currency Tip: Your first tuition instalment falls due at Michaelmas registration for the October 2027 intake. Load a Wise, Niyo, or ICICI Sapphiro multicurrency forex card for living expenses and save 2 to 3 percent versus SBI wire fees. For tuition, a bank-to-bank wire is still cheaper than card-based transfer at that scale, but lock your GBP rate 3 to 4 weeks before the offer-letter deposit deadline.
