# Study in the UK from Indonesia — visa, costs, scholarships and timeline

> From Indonesia: LPDP or self-funded, secure a UK offer, then apply for a Student visa.

Indonesia is a large, fast-growing South East Asian source market for UK study, with many students funded by the government's LPDP scholarship. The route is: secure a university offer, receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), then apply for the UK Student visa with financial evidence and approved English. Indonesian students can apply for LPDP, Chevening and university awards. Tuition plus living costs typically start from around £30,000 a year. Always confirm current visa rules on GOV.UK.

## The route from Indonesia
From Indonesia you apply to a UK university — through UCAS for most undergraduate courses or directly for postgraduate — meet your offer conditions, and receive your CAS. You then apply for the UK Student visa with approved English and financial evidence covering tuition and living costs. Many Indonesian students are funded by the LPDP scholarship; where a recognised official financial sponsor funds you, the financial-evidence rules differ, and Study UK Now makes sure your sponsor documentation meets UKVI's requirements exactly.

## Costs, scholarships and timeline
Plan for tuition plus living costs from roughly £30,000 a year, with London study costing more. Indonesian students can apply for the government's LPDP (Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education) scholarship, the UK's Chevening Scholarships and many university-specific awards — each with strict, early deadlines. Study UK Now builds your timeline backwards from your start date so your scholarship, university and visa applications all align.

## Frequently asked questions
### How do students from Indonesia apply to study in the UK?
Apply to a UK university through UCAS (undergraduate) or directly (postgraduate), meet your offer conditions to receive a CAS, then apply for the UK Student visa with financial evidence and approved English. If you are LPDP-funded, your sponsor documentation must meet UKVI's rules. Study UK Now manages each step. Confirm current visa rules on GOV.UK.

### Can I use the LPDP scholarship to study in the UK?
Yes — the Indonesian government's LPDP scholarship can fund study at UK universities, and as an official financial sponsor it changes how your financial evidence is presented for the visa (a sponsor letter rather than personal bank statements). Study UK Now ensures your LPDP documentation meets UKVI's requirements. Confirm details on GOV.UK and with LPDP.
