Living costs
Norwich has been ranked by the Times Higher Education (2018) as the second most affordable student city in the UK. Your living costs while studying at university will depend on your spending habits. For example, you will spend more money if eating out and ordering takeaways, than you will cooking at home with your housemates.
Students are encouraged to find work experience and internship opportunities whilst studying. International students are allowed to work a limited number of hours per week on a student visa (full time during university holidays). The Ideas Factory at NUA will help you look for jobs, produce your CV and secure your National Insurance number. Advice will be provided during the International Arrivals Lounge when you first arrive at NUA that we highly recommend attending if you wish to take on a part-time job.
It is important to stay on top of your finances, and stick to a budget to ensure you don’t overspend. Below you can find the typical outgoings that you will have as a student, and a detailed cost breakdown can be found by checking the Which Student Calculator.
Your budget should consider the following monthly spending:
| Expenditure | Total | |

| Accommodation (based on NUA accommodation) | £396-£600 | |
| Course materials | up to £82 | |
| Phone bill | £15-£30 | |
| Local travel | £30-£50 | |
| Food/clothes/entertainment | up to £328 |
