Additional costs You should also consider further costs which may include books, stationery, printing, binding and general subsistence on trips and visits. Year in the USA The major additional costs (as of October 2025) for the year in Toledo are as follows: Flights – in recent years the cost for a return flight has been approximately £1,200-£1,800. Visa – currently $185 for the period you will study; in addition all applicants must attend a visa interview in London, so will need to cover the travel costs incurred. Health insurance – this will vary from one individual to another, but it will cost approx. $2,000 if obtained in the USA, paid through your University of Toledo account. There are also options to purchase a plan from the UK prior to departure. Living costs - approximately $10,000-$12,000 for 9 months. Students pay only a reduced tuition fee to Salford while undertaking their studies in the USA and all tuition fees to the University of Toledo are waived. However students will have to pay approximately $200 per semester to cover various on-campus services. Most students are able to claim back a reasonable proportion of the above costs from Student Finance England as a grant: “You must pay the first £303 of your travel costs - and your travel grant will be reduced by £1 for each £8.73 of household income over £39,796.” See Travel grants for students studying abroad or on placemen
