I don't know if tuition is much cheaper, but we have Commonwealth Supported Places for starters, which means that some places (most?) in a particular course are subsidised. On top of that we have the deferred loans from the government that you don't have to pay back until you hit a certain yearly income (at the moment it's 51k) which once you hit that, the loan gets taken out of your paycheck bit by bit like regular tax.
SO, if you don't ever get a job or whatever,you don't have to pay it back.
