Living expenses will depend on the type of accommodation you have.

Estimated expenses are for a full year for the 2013-14 session. Price increases and
unexpected expenditure should be taken into account. Students arranging initial
short-term accommodation on arrival in London need to budget for this. If you have
dependent children, we recommend that you add 2,500 per child.
