As one of the biggest cities in Europe, London is also served by multiple airports with regular short-haul flights to the continent making it a great city to use as a base to see more of Europe. You can also travel by train to cities such as Paris and Brugge via Eurostar.
UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) requires you to have a budget of at least £1,334 per month to study in London (in addition to your tuition fees).

“I chose Northumbria because the AACSB double accreditation for the Business School was attractive to me. The ability to develop my language skills was another element which I liked, I wanted to improve my English and work with a diverse group of people. I most enjoy being in an environment which is so diverse as it gives you more vocational skills. Participating in group work has encouraged me to adapt my learning style and ability to work with a wider range of people. The teachers here are very open and encourage us to keep in touch with them regarding our work.”
