Useless degrees

Does anyone think it would be worth Mal getting a degree in something? Is it expensive to get a degree over here? What's the cost per year like? I'm just thinking she could do some part time work whilst studying something/anything to improve her CV so when hiring starts again she has more chance.

If the EU still pays students' fees for EU students, it may be possible financially, but I studied so long ago that I don't know what's happened about top-up fees (yes, I still call them that) in that regard. Otherwise, it would be a pretty tough financial proposition. About £10k in top-up fees for three years?
