Many parents may face the dilemma of not being able to afford the education of their son/daughter. You do not have to. Besides from the tuition fees being subsidized by the English government, all our student work while studying and pay for their expenses on their own. 

Initially it is true that the student might need some initial support for the first 2 or 3 months, so we suggest he/she takes between 1000 to 2000 Euros. Also the parents may help a bit each month with the costs without being a burden for them. Every month while your son/daughter is living at home you have costs such as water, electricity, gas, transportation, food, allowance, etc. You can calculate exactly how much you spend each month and the result is the amount you can send to England as extra support for bills.

It is very important you do not send to much money. If you demonstrate that your son/daughter does not need to work by sending him money every month he/she will loose the incentive to do so. Working is one of the most important experiences in every person’s life, developing a sense of responsibility, independence, pride and personal satisfaction along with an appreciation to complete their objectives.

It is very important before departure to support your child and encourage him or her. It is normal to get cold feet for the students but in this moment they need their parents. The student needs to see the trust and encouragement from the parents in order to be successful.

It is obviously also tough for the parents but remember what chances your child has after and while completing the studies in the UK.

We think you should be very proud of your child and of yourself. Taking the initiative to study abroad makes your child stand out. What your child needs now from you is support and trust.

As a parent it may not be easy to cope with and see your child go far away. But these days everything is "just a plane ride away". New technologies like skype also facilitate keeping in touch. Always make yourself aware that this is a unique chance your child is taking. It will help grow and develop.

Even though it may seem strange at first, the best thing is to have as little contact as possible. Your child should know that you support him or her but conversations should be limited. Writing E Mails in this situation is better but even those should not be too many.

Your child is in a very new "world" and needs to adapt. The more contact to family and friends, the harder it gets, because he or she is not really home and not really in the new environment. Give your child some time to adjust and then it will be a lot easier.
