Going to university is an expensive business. Three years of paying for tuition, food, and accommodation without an income can be tricky for some students, even with the help of a student loan.

Market Inspector, a B2B digital marketplace has compiled a ranking of the UK’s most expensive universities by combining the cost of everything from insurance to rent to books, to give a good idea of the overall cost of a year at university for the average British undergrad.

Most universities on the list are in London and the south east of England, where the cost of rent is a bigger expense than anywhere else in the country. However, some are outside the capital in other major cities around the country.

One private university — where tuition fees are almost double the £9,250 paid by undergraduates at public universities — features highly on the list.
