Now people are facing a lot of problem in this situation. We observed that in this serious situation student faced a big problem. In our team work we could know about that what kind of problem face our new coming student of LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY. In our survey we could find that almost their are international student. They are the such kind of victim on this economy. Now they faced a lot of problem in their live hood.

AIMS :
The purpose of this report is to investigate what economics problem affect pre-sessional students of LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSIT and how their life can change due to economic crisis.

METHOD :
This research is based on a questionnaire. The sample size was 35.These respondents were of different ages and gender, and form different country. They were all students of LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY .

FINDINGS:
The first question emphasises the residence of the students. Most of them are residing in rent houses. The reason for renting a house is sharing the accommodation. As a result of that they are saving money. The graph showing this result, is given below.


The second question says about how is their weekly payment for their accommodation. The answer is that 60% of the total students are paying less then 120 pounds for their accommodation fee.


15 students, almost 50% of the total, are paying between 50-150 pounds for their monthly utility bills.

Then next question is giving an idea of paying the tuition fee. 13 of them, which is a significant number, are paying the fee by themselves, that means they are working to accumulate the tuition fee.

The case of working as a student, 7 gave a positive answer.

A very important question was raised in the questionnaire about the economic crisis of London. However, most of the students answered yes, because they are feeling the crisis at their every step at London.

In the 5th question is that are they working or not? Only few student they said yes. but most of them they did not find any job.

The 6th question tries to find out that how is their social or leisure life in London after this economic problem. Findings shows that, students are still maintaining their social life but not at the same extent.

Next one is talking about UK's economic crisis. Their opinion is yes and they said really it is a big problem. All the market prices are growing up.

Last question is what they wanted to change their current situation. Almost student said they want earn more money n remove their present economic crisis as soon as possible.

By analysing the findings, it can be said that, economic crisis has an impact on the pre-sessional students.

Discussion
This section analyses answers asked in the questioner. Illustration1: most of the students live on their own renting flat. Only few students choose their accommodation for halls and residence. Because own renting flat is cheaper than halls sand residence the reason for they can share their flat with others and they can also save their money. From second illustration we can find that 60% of total students are paying less then 120 pounds for their accommodation fee. This seems to suggest that they are not able to expend much money for their accommodation purpose. In the third bar chart this appears to indicate that almost 50% of the total, are paying between 50-150 pounds for their monthly utility bills. Because they do not have enough money to payment their utility bills highly. Other than the 4th question is about their tuition fee. 13 of them, which is significant number, are paying the fee by themselves,that means they are working to accumulate the tuition fee. This might to indicate that their parents can not bear to give their tuition fees . But some new comer student they did not find a job still now. They are hardly seeking to get a new job. For this purpose students are still maintaining their social life but not at the same extent. Their think is that UK is now really affected on economic crisis and their life becoming very uncomfortable at this moment. They want to solve this problem as soon as possible .

In overall discussion we can say that now students of LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY facing a lot of problem in present economic crisis. They desperetly need a lot of money to maintain their living cost,some students want to get a new job and earn more money to sustain themselves.
So economic crisis has severe impact on the pre-sessional students.
