Yes, several Russell Group universities in the UK offer relatively affordable tuition and strong job placement opportunities, especially outside London where living costs are lower.

- Queen's University Belfast: Among the lowest tuition and living costs in the Russell Group.
- University of Liverpool: Affordable fees with strong industry connections.
- University of Sheffield: Known for employability-focused programs.
- Cardiff University: Offers scholarships and good placement support.

Tuition and living costs are subject to change, but these universities are generally considered budget-friendly with good career outcomes for graduates.
