in latvia its ~ 1500 lats (3 000) dollars for each year and there aren't any sweet deals like that.
Sorry what I meant is international students who study at UK universities have to pay more. Although those in the EU are considered UK students I think...And yes the payment 'plan' you've described there pretty much applies to all UK unis for UK and EU students.
