I am in my final year of my Bachelor's degree in Biology from a third world country (Uni ranking 350-400), I am starting to look at a master's degree across Europe. Applying to Oxford/cambridge/imperial didn't even cross my mind. But I recently thought about it, however I don't know if I should even put the effort, time and money into an application if there's no way I can get in logically. I am also kind of embarrassed to even ask my recommenders to write a recommendation letter if it is such a reach. Is there some kind of litmus test to know whether I should even bother?

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student considering applying to UCL for a full-time MSc in Biomedical Sciences, and I'm trying to figure out what the realistic total cost of the year would be.

The international tuition fee is currently listed as £42,700. What I'm struggling with is estimating the actual cost of living in London, especially accommodation.

If you've studied at UCL or currently live/study in London, approximately how much would you say I should budget for the cost of living for the entire year, including accomodation

I'm trying to work out whether my current calculations are completely insane 😂

Thanks!
