Students can save thousands by spending a year abroad

Analysis of tuition fees, accommodation, the cost of travel, living costs and language learning, by HSBC, shows that the cost of studying abroad is up to £13,404 (US$20,203) cheaper than staying in the UK, writes Kate Palmer for The Telegraph.

Poland's Warsaw University is the cheapest location for British students, typically costing £4,119 for a year's accommodation including fees, living expenses like food and clothing, three return flights to Britain and even an excursion to nearby Belarus (£76). By contrast, the average student in Britain pays £17,523 for an academic year including tuition fees, rent, travel costs and basic living expenses.

Even the most expensive location to study abroad, Sydney University, is cheaper than remaining at home. British students pay £15,000 in total for their fees and living costs at the Australian university. The biggest expense is the cost of living (£5,569 excluding accommodation) followed by accommodation (£4,839) and three return flights to the UK (£3,045).
