395,630 non-EU international students were studying in the UK and out of this around 20,000 students were from Uganda according to HESA (Higher Education Student Data) 2019/20. Ugandan students make up the 4th largest cohort of non-EU country international students studying in the UK.
According to the UK Home Office, the number of student visas awarded to Ugandan students increased significantly by 12% in the year ending in September 2020. In fact, among the top non-EU nations of origin for postsecondary students studying in the UK in 2019–20 was Uganda. More students are anticipated to apply for UK student visas in 2022 and beyond, as they did in 2021.
The following cost breakdowns show the approximate amounts of money that a typical Ugandan student would spend on regularly studied courses at commonly selected UK institutions while living in the same country as other foreign students. These prices, however, could change for certain courses at prestigious universities. Students are in charge of their own living and maintenance expenses and can decide how much to spend based on their needs or capacity to pay. Here are some general pointers for Ugandan students planning their UK study budget.
