University of Salford fees for Indian students depend on route, fee year, and scholarship status. Indian rupee (INR) values below use one exchange rate for India budgeting. Postgraduate (PG) taught tuition runs from £16,980 (INR 21.91 Lakhs) to £19,980 (INR 25.78 Lakhs). Undergraduate (UG) tuition for 2026/27 runs from £16,500 (INR 21.29 Lakhs) to £18,120 (INR 23.38 Lakhs). Master of Science (MSc) Data Science costs £19,980 (INR 25.78 Lakhs) for January 2027.
Salford’s cost of studying changes sharply by housing choice. The university’s visa-facing minimum is £10,539 (INR 13.60 Lakhs) for a 9-month academic year. Its Greater Manchester guide starts private living at £19,444 (INR 25.09 Lakhs). The same guide can reach £25,264 (INR 32.60 Lakhs) per year.
A January 2027 MSc Data Science budget is about £40,758 (INR 52.60 Lakhs) before scholarships. With Global Gold and the full-payment discount, the same first-year budget can fall near £37,248 (INR 48.07 Lakhs). Exchange rate used: 1 GBP = INR 129.05 on 14 September 2026.
January 2027 Intake: Postgraduate Route Is Open
Intake: January 2027 applications are open for selected postgraduate taught courses. Undergraduate entry is September-only, so the next realistic undergraduate entry is September 2027.

Note: January 2027 is a postgraduate taught intake at Salford. Undergraduate course pages list September 2027 as the next standard entry.
Five undergraduate courses show two main annual fee bands. Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) labels match Salford’s course titles.
| Programme | Duration | Published tuition (GBP and INR) | Indicative full-course tuition (GBP and INR) |
|---|---|---|---|

The 2027/28 fee rise changes the September 2027 budget, not the January 2027 postgraduate budget. Salford has already published the next fee year on course pages.
| Year | UG GBP | UG INR | YoY % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/27 standard UG band | £16,500 | INR 21.29 Lakhs | Base year |
| 2027/28 standard UG band | £16,920 | INR 21.84 Lakhs | +2.5% |

Use the 2026/27 rate for January 2027 decisions. Use the 2027/28 rate when comparing September 2027 offers.
Salford’s official living expenses show rent as the largest variable. The university’s Greater Manchester guide uses current private-living costs for a single student.
| Expense | Monthly (GBP) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rent, house share or studio | £1,100 to £1,300 | INR 1.42 Lakhs to INR 1.68 Lakhs | INR 18.07 Lakhs to INR 20.00 Lakhs | Salford’s guide uses Greater Manchester local rental market prices. |
| Utilities | £80 to £250 | INR 10,324 to INR 32,263 | INR 1.03 Lakhs to INR 3.23 Lakhs | Purpose-built halls often include bills, while private lets may not. |
| Bus travel | £63.30 | INR 8,169 | INR 98,026 | The 50 bus is free on weekdays with student ID between Peel Park and MediaCity. |
| Food | £100 to £250 | INR 12,905 to INR 32,263 | INR 1.29 Lakhs to INR 3.23 Lakhs | The range depends on supermarket choice and cooking habits. |
| Books and stationery | £50 | INR 6,453 | INR 64,525 | Computing students may also need laptop flexibility. |
| Laundry, clothing, mobile | £77 to £87 | INR 9,937 to INR 11,227 | INR 1.14 Lakhs to INR 1.30 Lakhs | This combines three separate Salford guide categories. |
| Social expenses | £150 to £250 | INR 19,358 to INR 32,263 | INR 1.94 Lakhs to INR 3.23 Lakhs | Campus resources and student discounts can reduce this category. |
| Private-living category total | £1,620 to £2,105 | INR 2.09 Lakhs to INR 2.72 Lakhs | INR 25.09 Lakhs to INR 32.60 Lakhs | Calculated from Salford’s annual category figures. |

Note: The visa maintenance minimum is lower than Salford’s private-living guide. Use £10,539 (INR 13.60 Lakhs) for visa proof, not for a full private-rent lifestyle.
January 2027 entrants should keep housing cash separate from the CAS deposit. The £5,500 (INR 7.10 Lakhs) tuition deposit does not reserve accommodation.
Currency Tip: The January 2027 deposit is due before the CAS process. Use Flywire or a forex card to reduce bank spread on £5,500 (INR 7.10 Lakhs).
A January 2027 MSc Data Science first-year budget starts near £40,758 (INR 52.60 Lakhs). This uses one year of tuition and 12 months of Salford’s private-living guide.
| Scenario | Tuition | Living | Mandatory Fees | Total Year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSc Data Science, lower private-living budget | £19,980 (INR 25.78 Lakhs) | £19,444 (INR 25.09 Lakhs) | £1,334 (INR 1.72 Lakhs) | £40,758 (INR 52.60 Lakhs) |
| MSc Data Science, midpoint private-living budget | £19,980 (INR 25.78 Lakhs) | £22,354 (INR 28.85 Lakhs) | £1,334 (INR 1.72 Lakhs) | £43,668 (INR 56.35 Lakhs) |
| MSc Data Science, upper private-living budget | £19,980 (INR 25.78 Lakhs) | £25,264 (INR 32.60 Lakhs) | £1,334 (INR 1.72 Lakhs) | £46,578 (INR 60.11 Lakhs) |
| MSc Data Science with Global Gold and full-payment discount | £16,471 (INR 21.26 Lakhs) | £19,444 (INR 25.09 Lakhs) | £1,334 (INR 1.72 Lakhs) | £37,248 (INR 48.07 Lakhs) |

The worked example is MSc Data Science for January 2027. A loan of about INR 50 Lakhs needs an estimated equated monthly instalment (EMI). The EMI is near INR 65,000 to INR 70,000.
Key Insight: Global Gold plus the prompt-payment discount cuts MSc Data Science tuition by £3,509 (INR 4.53 Lakhs). That saving is available only after scholarship award and full net-fee payment.
Eligible Indian offer-holders can receive automatic Salford scholarships without a separate form. The award still depends on offer acceptance and deposit payment by the offer deadline.
| Scholarship | Value | Eligibility | Status and intake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Gold Excellence Scholarship | UG: £3,500 (INR 4.52 Lakhs) per year, PG: £3,000 (INR 3.87 Lakhs) | Eligible international applicants with stronger academic achievement. | Auto-assessed for January 2027 PG and September 2027 UG offers. |
| Global Silver Excellence Scholarship | UG: £3,000 (INR 3.87 Lakhs) per year, PG: £2,500 (INR 3.23 Lakhs) | Eligible international applicants meeting the stated academic threshold. | Auto-assessed for January 2027 PG and September 2027 UG offers. |
| International Foundation Year Excellence Scholarship | £2,500 (INR 3.23 Lakhs) | Self-funded International Foundation Year applicants meeting grade thresholds. | Available for International Foundation Year routes starting from September 2026. |
| Loyalty discount | 20% tuition discount | Salford graduates progressing to another eligible Salford programme. | Use only if it exceeds any scholarship already awarded. |

Major Indian external awards for overseas postgraduate study show closed 2026 windows or pending 2027 dates. J N Tata, K. C. Mahindra, Inlaks, and Narotam Sekhsaria should be treated as future-cycle research, not confirmed January 2027 funding.
Tip for Indian Students: Claim Salford’s automatic award before chasing closed external windows. A £3,000 (INR 3.87 Lakhs) Global Gold PG award is the main live tuition reduction for January 2027.
Review University of Salford scholarship options for the next intake
Salford requires a standard international deposit of £5,500 (INR 7.10 Lakhs) for self-funded students. The amount must reach the university before an unconditional offer and CAS processing.
Four payment routes are relevant before registration. Salford names Flywire as its international bank-transfer partner.
Five steps control the January 2027 payment sequence. Missing the CAS deadline can push the applicant to a later intake.
Self-funded undergraduates usually receive five monthly instalments. Postgraduate taught students usually receive seven monthly instalments.
Source: University of Salford fees and funding page, askUS payment page, and international application deadlines.
Note: The January 2027 CAS document deadline is 30 November 2026. Send the £5,500 (INR 7.10 Lakhs) deposit early enough for bank checks and Flywire tracking.
January 2027 entrants need about £7,422 (INR 9.58 Lakhs) before arrival for core verified payments. This excludes flights and course equipment.
The verified pre-arrival minimum is £7,422 (INR 9.58 Lakhs). It combines deposit, visa, IHS, and partnered accommodation deposit.
| Pre-arrival item | Amount (GBP and INR) | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition deposit | £5,500 (INR 7.10 Lakhs) | Deducted from tuition. |
| Student Visa fee | £558 (INR 72,010) | Paid during visa application. |
| Estimated full IHS for 12 to 18 months | £1,164 (INR 1.50 Lakhs) | Paid upfront with the visa application. |
| Peel Park Quarter deposit | £200 (INR 25,810) | Paid within 48 hours after room booking. |
| Verified minimum before arrival | £7,422 (INR 9.58 Lakhs) | Flights, testing, and tuition balance excluded. |
Source: University of Salford deposit and accommodation pages, GOV.UK Student Visa and IHS pages.
Note: Families often miss the IHS because it is paid before travel. For a 12-to-18-month visa, budget about £1,164 (INR 1.50 Lakhs).
The highest-value January 2027 saving is Salford’s automatic PG scholarship plus the 3% prompt-payment discount. Together, they can save £3,509 (INR 4.53 Lakhs) on MSc Data Science.
Student Visa work rights can support living costs, but they should not fund the deposit. The visa decision normally arrives within 3 weeks outside the United Kingdom (UK).
Source: University of Salford scholarship and payment pages, and GOV.UK Student Visa.
Tip for Indian Students: For January 2027, secure the scholarship before using the full-payment discount. On MSc Data Science, that sequence lowers tuition to £16,471 (INR 21.26 Lakhs).
A January 2027 MSc Data Science route costs about INR 48.07 Lakhs after Global Gold and prompt payment. The value case depends on using Manchester access, the 18-month Graduate Route, and a controlled rent plan.
Salford sits in Greater Manchester, not central London. United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires £1,171 (INR 1.51 Lakhs) per month outside London.
The ranking signal is moderate rather than elite. Cached 2026 positions place Salford at QS World University Rankings (QS) 901-950. Times Higher Education lists 801-1000, and Guardian UK ranks Salford 85.
An INR 50 Lakhs education loan needs about INR 65,000 to INR 70,000 monthly EMI. A £30,000 (INR 38.72 Lakhs) salary stress-test equals £2,500 (INR 3.23 Lakhs) gross monthly.
Key Insight: Salford is strongest financially when scholarship tuition stays near INR 21.26 Lakhs. Private rent above £1,300 (INR 1.68 Lakhs) per month weakens the payback case quickly.
