How does one get enough to study in the UK?

I was offered 3 conditional places at 3 different UK universities - Liverpool, Lincoln and City.
The problem is I cannot afford to study in the UK where international tuition fees are around £20k/year and there are barely any uni scholarships for EU students.
Obviously, someone may ask "why dont you choose to study in your own country" but there are 3 issues
a) theyre highly competitive, which makes it difficult to get into the top 3 universities (which are around top 15-25 British ones)
b) they’re not as good as British ones not only in terms of education but also the system - in the UK the absences make the authorities worry and in the Central Europe you may get kicked out of a uni for a few missed days
c) the lack of the sense of challenge - the UK being a foreign place feels more challenging while also maintaining the better education and better quality.

So here’s my confusion - is there any possible way, other than a bank loan to somehow reduce the maximum amount of fees or should I just admit my defeat and give up?

You could apply for a scholarship! They're very competitive but they're an amazing way to have your university fees payed for you

Hi, I'm Audrey, an international student who graduated from City St George's.

- If you are interested in scholarships for master's students, I have a thread; you can see it here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7587317.

- If you are interested in scholarships for UG students, you can find information in the Fee & funding section for each course or search here: https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/prospective-students/finance/funding?meta_level_sand=undergraduate+degrees

In addition, you can look for some part-time jobs to earn extra income. There are many job opportunities in London, and the class schedule is also possible for you to balance both study and work.

If you can provide any additional information or have any further questions, I'm happy to help.

Best wishes,
Audrey
