Everyone pays the same amount, yeah. You just apply for a loan though, so it doesn't matter if you're a millionaire or have two quid to your name, you'll get the same funding.
I guess I was commenting on @Frijj's misleading: "The state pay all tuition fees for those doing their first degree." Taken literally, yes it's true but it's obviously only half the story. It's like me saying I'll pay for my friends to get wrecked then taking a collection from them prior to each round which I then hand over at the bar.
