UK students would therefore be paying up to £11,220 a year, on top of the £9,000-a-year course fees, totally almost £61,000 over three years. For international students, thanks to their fees of up to £17,500-a-year, the total figure could be more than £85,000 - before living costs are factored in. The university website says term-time living costs - excluding accommodation - are £3,740 a year, making the total cost of a degree near £100,000. The building is being renovated by developer Burrington Estates, which has already converted another site in the city into luxury student apartments.

Students now pay £202.40 on average in London, but this is much better than non-students who have to spend £299.40 to live in the same areas.
