A Home Away From Home

Having secure and stable accommodation is essential to a successful study experience in the UK.

• University Halls of Residence: A safe and convenient choice, especially for your first year. Be sure to apply early before arriving in the UK.

• Homestay: A golden opportunity to immerse yourself in British culture and practise your English daily. AMAED will connect you with friendly and trustworthy host families.

• Private Rentals/Flats: Ideal for those seeking more independence and willing to share costs with friends. AMAED provides a list of reliable property websites and key tips for signing a tenancy agreement.
  Average rent (as of March 2025):

  • Outside London: £400 – £700/month

  • In London: £700 – £1,500+/month

AMAED recommends beginning your accommodation search as soon as you receive your offer letter to ensure the best options.

Managing Your Finances

Financial planning is a crucial part of student life. Below are some essential figures and helpful tips:

• Financial Proof Requirements (from January 2025):

  • £1,136/month (outside London)

  • £1,483/month (in London)
    This is the minimum amount you need to show for your visa application.

To manage your budget wisely:
Create a detailed financial plan, make the most of student discounts, cook at home regularly, use public transport economically (monthly passes, Oyster cards…), and explore free or low-cost leisure activities.

Cultural Integration

An open and proactive attitude will help you adapt quickly to UK life:

• Learn about British culture, join clubs and societies at your university, and build connections with international and local students.

• Don’t hesitate to explore nearby cities and towns—this is a wonderful way to deepen your understanding of British history and people.

AMAED will also connect you with the Vietnamese Student Association in the UK, where you’ll find community support and shared experiences from fellow students.

Part-time Work Opportunities

Stay updated with the latest work regulations for international students:

• Most students are allowed to work up to 20 hours/week during term time.

• Minimum wage in 2025 ranges from £5.28 to £10.18 per hour, depending on your age.

Prepare an impressive CV and use trusted job search platforms to find part-time opportunities.
