Our Process
How It Works
Compare University Tiers on Cost
Russell Group universities (Oxford, UCL, Edinburgh) charge £22k–35k. Strong mid-tier (Essex, Surrey, Leicester) charge £15k–20k. EduVed balances quality and cost to build the optimal shortlist for your budget.
Choose the Right City
London costs 30–40% more than other UK cities. Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Glasgow, and Edinburgh offer strong universities at significantly lower living costs. EduVed accounts for city cost when shortlisting.
Calculate NHS Surcharge
The NHS Immigration Health Surcharge (£776/year) is mandatory for student visa applicants. For a 1-year master's this adds ~£1,000 to your visa cost. EduVed includes this in your total budget projection.
Explore Scholarships
Chevening (full funding), GREAT Scholarship (£10,000), and university merit awards (£2,000–10,000) can significantly reduce costs. EduVed identifies all scholarship options matched to your profile.
Plan Education Loan
Indian banks offer UK education loans up to ₹75L–1.5Cr. 1-year master's loans are smaller and easier to repay. EduVed advises on loan documentation required for UK visa financial proof.
Estimate Post-Study Earnings
Graduate Visa allows 2 years of full-time work in the UK at £25,000–45,000/year (average starting salary). EduVed helps you model ROI — how quickly post-study earnings cover your UK education investment.
