What subject?

(You can't just apply for any course since some require undergraduate degrees in a specific subject)

What's your budget?

The Guardian website has a table which lists fees for international postgraduates. I suspect it won't be 100% accurate, but at least it should give you some indication.

Business and design related are preferred. But any subject is fine. Regarding budget I am lookin for the cheapest. That s my priority #1

I have to say if I was an immigration officer, and I knew an international student wasn't that bothered about what they studied and just wanted the cheapest course, I'd have doubts about them being a genuine student...(and yes I have been watching too much 'UK Border Force' :p: )

And you've said in another post you already have a masters. Wanting another one makes sense if you want to go in a different direction from your first masters, but not if you don't even have a real idea/preference of what sort of subject you'd like to study. :s-smilie:

You'll have to include all the qualifications you hold on your application form, including the master's degree you already have.

University admissions would want valid reasons for studying a second masters degree. Studying any degree just to live in the UK rather than for a genuine reason seems like a waste of time and money, imo.

I could put a reasonable programme together for you if you like...I'd even give 3% TSR discount.

You are not the only one heidigirl. I thought the same. Any masters, cheapest, international student = alarm bells start ringing.

How can you go for any masters. I am an engineer and I am pretty sure I cannot go for MSc in Medical studies.:s-smilie:

First of all thanks for all your responses

I can sense why its fishy...anyways this is the actual scenario....

My friend has been almost pushed to get a PG diploma in her master degree (If you ask y? its a long story)... She is trying to make a final appeal to the exam committe to get a project and get a masters degree but if it dint work out then she's decided of doing another masters altogether because she doesnt feel good to go home before having a masters.

This is the case frends.

Hope now you can give some better suggestions.

Well, you are still not getting it, you cannot go for any Masters degree, everything depends on your Bachelors....what classification, what route etc etc. Don't you know that if you ask a general question you will get general answers in return?

Why didn't you mention this in the first place?

Wouldn't it have been better to have told the truth?

Hi guys,

Sorry I'll be more specific if you guys can help? I'll be really grateful!
I need to know any cheapest university for Masters in Computer Sciences. I'll be more happy if I'm able to pay fee in installment to university. I'm trying to find but every univ has £10,000+ for international students and this is really disappointing. Its so expensive seems like I'll not be able to do my Masters :-(

Any help will be appreciated. :smile:

Thanks.

Hey everyone. Please I need a little help. I have a B.A in International studies and diplomacy and I'd like to get a masters degree in Business administration or international law but my budget's quite low. Anyone know any cheap university for international students?

Try Scotland. University of the Highlands and Islands offer MBA for international students at 8,800 pounds, you also do not need to have work experience. You can try University of West Scotland, fee is about 10,500 but a 1,500 pounds scholarship is automatically given to international students. Bringing it down to £9000. For their MBA though, you need about two years experience. I also heard University of Sunderland is cheap. Also about £9000 for MBA.
