The cost of a student visa remains the same, i.e. £524 for 1 year, 2 years and even 5 years of your study program. The UK student visa is issued for the entire length of your course. The only difference that arises is in the amount of Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) that is paid annually. This amount keeps increasing with the number of years you stay in the UK. The annual cost of an IHS to be paid with the UK student visa fee is £1,035 (for degree-level courses).

The universities in the UK accept no less than a 6.0 overall score in the IELTS exam. With this, students must score a minimum of 5.5 scores in each component of the IELTS exam.
However, students with low IELTS scores can opt to go for a pre-master course in the UK for which an IELTS score of 5.5 is accepted.
