It's not quite as bad as attending, but cost of a degree is about £18k or so - at £3k/year if you do the typical spread over 6 years. The cost has been going up markedly ever since £3k fees first came in. They still offer bursaries and grants for those on low income, but seem to have been trimmed to be only partial help, with the rest on a student loan. I'm fairly sure you used to be able to apply for 100% help. So it seems far less appealing for those on low or middle income, and all their traditional successes like those who never did a degree at 18 etc.
