University of York fees for Indian students span £26,900 (INR 34.21 Lakhs) undergraduate to £34,500 (INR 43.88 Lakhs) for MSc Finance, both at the confirmed 2026/27 rate. The three programmes drawing the largest Indian applicant pools each year are MSc Advanced Computer Science, MSc Data Science, and MSc Management.
The realistic entry points to the University of York for a new applicant from India are the January 2027 intake (postgraduate only) and the September 2027 intake (both undergraduate and postgraduate). A UK Student Visa takes 3 to 8 weeks to process, so a September 2026 start is no longer workable for a new applicant reading this now.
A one-year MSc Management at York works out to about INR 60.54 Lakhs total (tuition, living, and mandatory visa costs), and a 3-year BA English to roughly INR 1.56 Crore before scholarships.

Exchange rate: 1 GBP = INR 127.18 as of July 30, 2026.

York uses a per-programme fee structure rather than a fixed band. Humanities and social sciences UG programmes cluster around £26,900 (INR 34.21 Lakhs) per year, laboratory and STEM subjects reach £32,350 (INR 41.14 Lakhs). Postgraduate taught fees for 2026/27 span £26,900 (INR 34.21 Lakhs) for a standard MA to £34,500 (INR 43.88 Lakhs) for MSc Finance.
The four most-searched UG programmes for Indian students, priced per year at the confirmed 2026/27 international rate.
| Programme | Annual GBP | Annual INR |
|---|---|---|
| BA English Literature | £26,900 | INR 34.21 Lakhs |
| BSc Economics | £27,500 | INR 34.97 Lakhs |
| BSc Computer Science | £32,350 | INR 41.14 Lakhs |
| BSc Biology | £32,350 | INR 41.14 Lakhs |
The Masters programmes with the largest Indian applicant pools, priced per year at the confirmed 2026/27 international rate.
| Programme | Annual GBP | Annual INR |
|---|---|---|
| MA Education | £26,900 | INR 34.21 Lakhs |
| MA Applied Human Rights | £26,900 | INR 34.21 Lakhs |
| Master of Public Health | £29,900 | INR 38.03 Lakhs |

| MSc Finance | £34,500 | INR 43.88 Lakhs |
Note: The fee shown is the annual rate for the intake in the fee year listed. Multi-year UG programmes carry a CPI-linked annual increase (capped at 10%) in Years 2 and 3, so a 2026/27 entrant paying £26,900 in Year 1 should budget roughly 4-6% higher for Year 2 and again for Year 3. Confirm the exact programme fee on the individual course page before you finalise your budget.
York holds international tuition increases to the prevailing CPI inflation rate, capped at 10% per year, for the duration of a multi-year degree. Under that policy, the 2027/28 fee year (September 2027 intake) is expected to run 4-6% higher than the confirmed 2026/27 rate.
| Fee Year | BA English (Standard UG) | BSc Computer Science (STEM UG) | MSc Management (Business PG) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/27 (verified) | £26,900 (INR 34.21 Lakhs) | £32,350 (INR 41.14 Lakhs) | £31,900 (INR 40.57 Lakhs) |
| 2027/28 (projected +4-6%) | £27,975-£28,515 (INR 35.58-36.26 Lakhs) | £33,645-£34,290 (INR 42.79-43.61 Lakhs) | £33,175-£33,815 (INR 42.19-43.00 Lakhs) |
Key Insight: The January 2027 intake is billed at the confirmed 2026/27 rate. Waiting for September 2027 shifts you to the 2027/28 rate, roughly INR 1.4-2.1 Lakhs more per year for the same programme. On a 3-year UG degree, that same CPI cap compounds to an extra INR 5-8 Lakhs across the programme, so timing the start against the CPI headline matters more than most families expect.
York is one of the more affordable Russell Group cities in England. Student living costs average £1,150-£1,300 per month (INR 1.46-1.65 Lakhs), materially less than London and 20-25% below Manchester or Bristol.
| Expense | Monthly (GBP) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accommodation (halls or shared house) | £600-£750 | INR 76,308-95,385 | INR 9.16-11.45 Lakhs | University Halls in Year 1; move to shared private housing from Year 2 to save 15-20% |
| Food and groceries | £220 | INR 27,980 | INR 3.36 Lakhs | Indian grocers on Lawrence Street and Fossgate; cooking at home saves £60-80 (INR 7,631-10,174) monthly |
| Transport | £45 | INR 5,723 | INR 68,675 | York First bus M+ term pass; city is walkable end to end in 30 minutes |
| Utilities and Wi-Fi (private renting) | £70 | INR 8,903 | INR 1.07 Lakhs | Bundled into most University Hall contracts, only applies in private housing |
| Personal, leisure, books | £215 | INR 27,344 | INR 3.28 Lakhs | Books factored in; NHS visits covered by IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge, paid upfront with the Student Visa) |
| Total | £1,150-£1,300 | INR 1.46-1.65 Lakhs | INR 17.55-19.83 Lakhs (12 mo) | UG on 10-month basis: INR 14.63-16.53 Lakhs |
Note: The UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) maintenance requirement for York (outside London) is £1,023 (INR 1.30 Lakhs) per month, meaning your bank account must show £9,207 (INR 11.71 Lakhs) held for 28 days as proof for a 9-month visa. Aim for £12,000 (INR 15.26 Lakhs) to give the visa case a healthy margin against currency fluctuation.
Rent inside York is roughly half the cost of central London and 20-25% below Manchester or Bristol. Most first-year international students take a University Halls contract that bundles rent, utilities, and Wi-Fi at one fixed weekly rate, which removes surprise bills and simplifies the visa maintenance calculation. More information are available on the student accommodation in UK page.
Currency Tip: Lock in your first-instalment forex the week your CAS request is confirmed for the January 2027 or September 2027 intake. Sending the £3,000 (INR 3.82 Lakhs) deposit and first tuition instalment through York’s official international payment provider typically saves 2-3% versus a direct SWIFT wire. Load a forex card in GBP for early living expenses in the first three weeks before you open a UK bank account.
Year 1 all-in costs for the most popular UG and PG paths, pairing the 2026/27 tuition with 12-month PG living costs, 10-month UG living costs, and mandatory Student Visa and IHS fees paid at application.
| Scenario | Tuition | Living | Mandatory Fees | Total Year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BA English UG (10 mo living) | £26,900 (INR 34.21 L) | £12,000 (INR 15.26 L) | £2,852 (INR 3.63 L) | £41,752 (INR 53.10 Lakhs) |
| BSc Computer Science UG | £32,350 (INR 41.14 L) | £12,000 (INR 15.26 L) | £2,852 (INR 3.63 L) | £47,202 (INR 60.03 Lakhs) |
| MSc Management PG (12 mo) | £31,900 (INR 40.57 L) | £14,400 (INR 18.31 L) | £1,300 (INR 1.65 L) | £47,600 (INR 60.54 Lakhs) |
| MSc Advanced Computer Science PG | £32,900 (INR 41.84 L) | £14,400 (INR 18.31 L) | £1,300 (INR 1.65 L) | £48,600 (INR 61.81 Lakhs) |
| MSc Finance PG | £34,500 (INR 43.88 L) | £14,400 (INR 18.31 L) | £1,300 (INR 1.65 L) | £50,200 (INR 63.84 Lakhs) |
Mandatory fees on the UG line assume the IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge) is paid upfront for the full 3-year visa (£776 x 3 = £2,328 / INR 2.96 Lakhs), plus the Student Visa fee (£558 / INR 71,290). PG lines assume a 1-year visa.
Full-programme totals: a 3-year BA English clocks in at approximately INR 1.56 Crore after 4-6% CPI-linked increases in Years 2 and 3, and a 3-year BSc Computer Science at roughly INR 1.77 Crore, both before scholarships. On a 10-year education loan at 10.5% interest, INR 60 Lakhs translates to an EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) of about INR 80,000 per month; INR 1.56 Crore lifts that EMI to about INR 2.10 Lakhs per month.
Key Insight: The controllable saving on a January 2027 MSc Management is INR 12.72 Lakhs, the maximum International Masters Achievement Scholarship (£10,000), which drops the total programme cost from INR 60.54 Lakhs to INR 47.82 Lakhs. Submit the scholarship application in the same week your York admission offer arrives to lock this in before the first tuition instalment falls due.
Full scholarship strategies and stacking guidance are available on the University of York Scholarships silo.
York offers six international awards open to Indian students in the 2026/27 cycle, split between undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The Global Impact Masters Scholarship explicitly lists India in its eligible-country list.
| Scholarship | Level | Amount | Eligibility | How to Apply? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dean’s Global Excellence Scholarship | UG | Full Year 1 tuition + £10,000 (INR 12.72 Lakhs) Y2/Y3 | International UG, ABB A-level or IB 34 or equivalent | Separate application after admission offer |
| International Undergraduate Achievement Scholarship | UG | Up to £10,000 (INR 12.72 Lakhs) Year 1 | International UG with strong academic record | Auto-assessed at admission (no form needed) |
| York Global Clearing Scholarship | UG | £5,000 (INR 6.36 Lakhs) Year 1 | International Clearing entrants only | Auto-assessed via Clearing |
| International Masters Achievement Scholarship | PG (Taught) | Up to £10,000 (INR 12.72 Lakhs) Year 1 | International Masters offer holders | Separate application |
| Global Impact Masters Scholarship | PG (Taught) | £5,000-£8,000 (INR 6.36-10.17 Lakhs) Year 1 | Indian students plus 7 other eligible countries | Separate application |
| York Graduate Loyalty Discount | PG | 10% off tuition (up to INR 4.39 Lakhs on MSc Finance) | York alumni proceeding to PG | Automatic |
Three India-side awards are worth stacking on top of a York scholarship for the September 2027 planning cycle. Each closes well before the intake starts.
| Scholarship | Award | Eligibility | Typical Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inlaks Shivdasani Scholarship | Up to USD 100,000 (approx INR 83 Lakhs) | UG/PG top-tier institutions, under 30 | Closes 31 March 2027 for September 2027 entry |
| JN Tata Endowment | Up to INR 10 Lakhs (loan-scholarship) | Any PG discipline, Indian citizen | Closes March 2027 |
| KC Mahindra Scholarships | Up to INR 10 Lakhs | PG students, need-cum-merit | Closes February-March 2027 |
| Narotam Sekhsaria Scholarships | Up to INR 20 Lakhs (interest-free loan) | PG, Indian citizen, top academic record | Closes January 2027 |
| Aga Khan Foundation | Variable (50% grant, 50% loan) | PG, low-income, exceptional academic | Closes March 2027 |
Tip for Indian Students: For a September 2027 entry, apply for the International Masters Achievement Scholarship (up to £10,000 / INR 12.72 Lakhs) alongside your York admission, then submit the Inlaks application before its March-April 2027 close. Stacking the York award with Inlaks can cover a full MA Education or MPH Public Health programme with margin left for living costs.
The University of York tuition deposit is £3,000 (INR 3.82 Lakhs) for all international offer holders except residents of Ghana (£12,000 / INR 15.26 Lakhs). The deposit secures your CAS letter (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies, the document needed for the Student Visa), counts fully toward first-year tuition, and is refundable if UKVI refuses your visa with a formal refusal notice or you fail to meet outstanding offer conditions.
Using York’s official payment provider or an education loan disbursement saves 2-3% on total tuition versus a raw SWIFT wire, which on £31,900 works out to £640-£960 (INR 81,395-1.22 Lakhs) saved on a 1-year Masters.
York splits the tuition balance into instalments across the academic year, with the first instalment due at registration in the intake month, and a second instalment mid-way through the year. A full-payment discount may apply if the year’s tuition is paid upfront at registration, confirmed with the York Finance Office at the point of deposit payment.
Tip for Indian Students: For the January 2027 intake, arrange your bank transfer 10-14 days before the CAS request deadline. An international GBP wire from India typically takes 5-7 working days plus 1-2 buffer days for beneficiary matching at York’s end. Delaying the deposit delays the CAS and risks your Indian visa appointment slipping past the intake start.
For a January 2027 start, budget the UKVI Priority Visa Service (£500 / INR 63,590) if you apply after October 2026, standard processing may run tight against the intake start. The full list of one-time and ongoing costs on top of tuition and living:
Budget approximately INR 2-3 Lakhs for first-year hidden costs on top of the tuition and living figures shown in Section 4.
Note: The IHS is the hidden cost most families forget. For a 1-year Masters, York’s IHS bill is £776 (INR 98,692) paid upfront at the visa application; for a 3-year UG, that jumps to £2,328 (INR 2.96 Lakhs) paid at the same moment, in a single UKVI transaction, and is non-refundable once the visa is granted.
For a January 2027 or September 2027 PG entry, the highest-value lever is stacking the International Masters Achievement Scholarship (up to £10,000 / INR 12.72 Lakhs) with one external Indian award, which can cut the Masters bill by INR 20-30 Lakhs before you leave India.
Tip for Indian Students: The highest-value single saving lever for either the January 2027 or September 2027 PG entry is the International Masters Achievement Scholarship, worth up to £10,000 (INR 12.72 Lakhs). Submit the scholarship application the same week your admission offer lands, since York decisions are rolling and awards are limited each cycle.
A 1-year York MSc at INR 47-64 Lakhs total (net of a mid-range York scholarship, INR 35-52 Lakhs) is competitively priced for a Russell Group institution ranked joint 20th in the UK by The Times Good University Guide 2026 and joint #10 in the UK for research quality in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.

York Masters graduates qualify for the UK Graduate Route Visa currently in force, giving 2 years of unrestricted post-study work rights in the UK (3 years for PhD graduates). Median early-career UK salaries for Russell Group Masters graduates in Business, Computer Science, and Data Science cluster in the £28,000-£35,000 (INR 35.61-44.51 Lakhs) range, providing 2 years of Graduate Route income to offset the loan.
Key Insight: For the January 2027 MSc Management intake, the net cost after the International Masters Achievement Scholarship drops to INR 47.82 Lakhs. The EMI on that amount (10-year loan at 10.5%) is around INR 65,000 per month, which a £2,300 (INR 2.93 Lakhs) monthly Graduate Route salary services with room for savings, making the York MSc a defensible financial decision on payback grounds alone.
University of York fees for the January 2027 and September 2027 intakes anchor at £26,900-£34,500 (INR 34.21-43.88 Lakhs) tuition, plus roughly INR 15-18 Lakhs annual living, bringing a Masters year to INR 47-64 Lakhs total before scholarships. Netting the International Masters Achievement Scholarship (up to INR 12.72 Lakhs) and one India-side award such as Inlaks or JN Tata can cut the effective bill by 30-40%. On a 10-year loan at 10.5% for the net figure, the EMI runs around INR 65,000-80,000 per month, comfortably serviceable on a UK Graduate Route Visa starting salary within 2-3 UK working years.

STEM undergraduate degrees such as BSc Computer Science and BSc Biology are £32,350 (INR 41.14 Lakhs).

Typical hourly rates in York are £11.44-£13 (INR 1,455-1,653), so a term-time part-time role brings in around £600 (INR 76,308) per month, enough to cover food and transport.
Ques. What is the UK Graduate Route Visa and how does it affect the University of York decision?
Ans. The UK Graduate Route Visa (currently in force at the time of writing) gives 2 years of unrestricted post-study work rights after a Masters and 3 years after a PhD, letting you work in the UK to offset your loan. Median early-career salaries for Russell Group Business, Computer Science, and Data Science graduates cluster in the £28,000-£35,000 (INR 35.61-44.51 Lakhs) range, and a 3-year working stint typically covers most of the loan for a Masters programme.
Ques. How does the University of York fee compare with other Russell Group universities?
Ans. York sits at the lower end of Russell Group international fees. Its standard Masters at £26,900-£31,900 (INR 34.21-40.57 Lakhs) undercuts Manchester, Warwick, and Bristol by INR 4-8 Lakhs, and Oxbridge or Imperial by INR 15-25 Lakhs, while still delivering a joint #10 UK research rank in REF 2021 and a QS UK 24 position for 2027.
