How Much Money Do You Need to Show for the Visa?
For a Student visa you show the first-year tuition you still owe, plus living costs for up to nine months. The rate depends on where you study and on the date you apply, not on when the course starts.
| Where you study | Applications before 30 Nov 2026 | Applications from 30 Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Outside London | £1,171 a month (£10,539 for 9 months) | £1,203 a month (£10,827 for 9 months) |
| London | £1,529 a month (£13,761 for 9 months) | £1,570 a month (£14,130 for 9 months) |
Liverpool John Moores University is outside Greater London, so the lower rate applies.
Worked example. BSc Business with International Business Management at £17,750, nothing paid yet, studying outside London: £17,750 + £1,203 × 9 = £28,577 (about NPR 55.7 lakhs). A deposit you have already paid comes off the tuition part.
The money must be held for 28 days in a row, in your name or a parent’s with their consent and proof of the relationship. All 20 of Nepal’s Class A commercial banks meet UKVI’s financial evidence requirements; see the 28-day rule guide.
What Do You Need to Get In from Nepal?
- Master’s: a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university such as TU, KU or PU. Universities set their own reading of Nepali grades; see how UK universities read a TU GPA.
- Bachelor’s: NEB Grade 12 results; some courses need a foundation year first. See UK study after +2.
- English: usually IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 overall. Some universities accept an MOI letter; see studying without IELTS.
Entry rules are set course by course and change each year, so treat these as a guide and check your course page.
When Can You Start?

Scholarships, Work and the Visa Rating
Scholarships. Chevening is open to Nepali citizens; GREAT and Commonwealth Master’s Scholarships are not open to Nepal in 2026/27. Check Liverpool John Moores University’s own international awards. See the scholarships guide.
Work. Up to 20 hours a week in term time at degree level. After the course, the Graduate visa gives 18 months for applications from 1 January 2027. A Skilled Worker job usually needs £41,700 or the going rate, with a lower new-entrant rate (70% of the going rate, at least £33,400).
Visa rating. Since 1 June 2026 UKVI rates each university’s visa compliance as Green, Amber or Red. UKVI has not published the ratings, and HOA does not claim a rating for any university. See the UKVI RAG guide.
