Ive looked every where but there are no figures outlining the ammount needed to stay for the 6month or however long to sort uni out. Any help would be great... Thank you in advance

How many times do you need to ask the same question?

There is no set amount which you must show, however you must also be able to provide evidence that not only can support yourself while arranging studies but also that you can pay for your tuition and continue to support yourself once you have made these arrangements.

The tuition will vary accordingly: Which course you study, the university/college and if you are an E.U. or non-E.U. citizen. As an E.U. citizen you can expect to pay around £3,000-£5,000. Non E.U. citizens can expect to pay in around £7,000 to over £10,000 for tuition.

Living expenses: you should budget for around £6,000 - £10,000 per year, this figure does include accommodation, without accommodation - around £3,500 - £7,500 per year.

These are not exact figures and will vary greatly depending on the factors previously mentioned and of course the area which you will be staying, but it is a rough idea to gague what you need.

If you want more information then contact your chosen college or university directly, you may even want to email the Boarder & Immigration Agency with your question, the contact details can be found in the second link.
