The Government sets tuition fees annually. You are responsible for your course fees however much the LEA pays. For non-EU students the current fees are 6000 a year. The amount is dependent on your living situation and year of study - it is approximately 4,590 for a first year student living away from home in London and 2,950 for those still living at their parent's home. The entrance requirements are more flexible for mature applicants.
Work experience is taken into account, although a minimum academic standard is still required.
I am from a small town and very worried about moving to London. When you arrive at South Bank University you will find everyone is in the same situation and it's easy to make friends. South Bank has a program of residential accommodation and provides over 1000 bedrooms. Although South Bank is in central London, there is a campus atmosphere with nightlife centred around the student union and nearby Ministry of Sound.
