Study Abroad funding and costs

Find out more about how to apply for your student loan, plus other important financial considerations

Study abroad financial considerations

Think about the costs of studying abroad before you apply. It is usually more expensive than being at Leeds, but costs can vary widely and will differ depending on your personal lifestyle and the cost of living in your host country.

Study abroad scholarships

Some study abroad students may be able to apply for a scholarship to help meet the costs of studying overseas.

Erasmus+ grants

BREXIT INFORMATION: If you will be on a work or study abroad placement in a European country anytime throughout the 2020-21, you may be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant to supplement your student loan.

Applying for your student loan

You can apply for both a Maintenance Loan to help pay for living costs while studying abroad or on a work placement and a loan for the Tuition Fee.
