Before choosing a course here
Ask admissions for the exact CAS sponsor name, study campus, intake eligibility and refund terms. Check travel distances and accommodation at the campus, not just the registered office. Sponsorship is immigration permission for the institution; it is not a scholarship or a teaching-quality endorsement.
For a course at Cardiff, use the actual study campus, not a provider's registered office, to decide the maintenance requirement. London means the City of London and the 32 London boroughs: £1,529 a month, up to £13,761 for nine months. Elsewhere it is £1,171 a month, up to £10,539. These Student-route amounts are separate from unpaid course fees for the first academic year. Exemptions and different Child Student rules may apply. Check our financial requirements guide and GOV.UK for your circumstances.

Is the registered address the teaching campus?
Not necessarily. Confirm the course location and any campus changes with admissions before calculating living costs or arranging accommodation.
