University of Manchester, Manchester
What a first year actually costs
Tuition is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the whole first year, including the costs that usually surface late.
| TuitionPer year, as published by the university | $44,685 |
|---|---|
| Semester contributionMandatory university fee that is not tuition — often the only fee a tuition-free program charges | $79 |
| Living costsAccommodation, food, transport — a working estimate | $14,000 |
| Student visaGovernment fee, one-off | $620 |
| Health insuranceTypically mandatory for international students | $1,000 |
| First year, all in | $60,384 |
Not in the table above: The insurance line is the Immigration Health Surcharge, billed UP FRONT for the whole visa plus 4 months — a 1-yr master's pays ~18 months' worth before arrival, not annually.
University of Manchester publishes this fee as GBP 33,100 a year. The dollar figures above are converted, so treat them as approximate and quote the published amount when you apply.

After you graduate
Graduates of this program are eligible for 18-mo Graduate Route in UK. Work rights are set by government policy rather than the university, and they change — check the current rules before you rely on them.
What the headline leaves outCut from 2 yrs to 18 months by Statement of Changes HC 1333 (14 Oct 2025), applying to any Graduate visa application made on or after 1 Jan 2027 — the date that counts is when you apply, not when the course started. PhDs keep 3 yrs. Graduate visa costs GBP 937.
