Visa income is not differentiated between the various categories in which they are received.

Visa volumes by broad category (study, work etc) are published in the data section of this webpage: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-january-to-march-2017/why-do-people-come-to-the-uk-3-to-study#data-tables

Fees and unit costs are also published, for example, for 2017/18:
