For a UK student, about £3,000 a year, but the government will give you a student loan which will cover a lot of this. Then you have to pay living costs, and that can get quite high if you're not careful, there's a lot of parties/pubs/events to go to that will eat up the cash...
Foreign students will pay about £8,500 a year, but they will not receive support from the UK government- you sound like a UK student though... and if you want to become a teacher, I think there is some good news, in that the last I heard, the government was paying teachers through university- I'm not sure what the situation is now, it keeps changing, but I think you can get through university without having to pay back the student loan. You may have to do a qualification called a PGCE though, which can take a couple of years. I'm not sure what you want out of university precisely, but if you were thinking of taking a 'pure' art degree then becoming a teacher it may not be possible... but you might be able to combine art modules with teaching modules, and finish the degree faster...

It costs around £3000 per year. I'm not sure how it works for overseas students but UK students can apply for some help with tuition fees from the government or get grants and student loans.
There are different avenues into teaching but the most common way is completing 3 (or 4) years at Uni and then going on to do a one-year full time or two-year part time PGCE (post graduate certificate of education) course at the same or another University to gain your teaching qualification.

If you are a UK citizen the highest the university fees can be is £3070, but this can be covered with a loan from the government that you will not have to repay until you are earning at least £15,000 per year. Aswell as this you will need to pay for food/ accomodation etc but again you can apply for a maintanance loan to cover this. This loan is adequate for most students to live on but many get part time jobs aswell to fund things like nights out down the student union pub.
The art teacher bit does depend on your circumstances, if you want to do a degree in teaching and education and then specialise in art you will not necessarily need to have art quilifications before you go to uni - im not sure if this is the same for secondary schools though.
however if you want to study art as a degree and then become a teacher you will most likely do three years of the art course and then 1 year PGCE (post graduate cirtificate of education) or 2 years PGCE if you want to be a secondary teacher - again im not sure if you want to teach higher than secondary level.
As for collage, if you get the grades that the university you choose want you to get, and they accept your application, then yes you will be able to go straight to that uni. if you dont get quite the grades you want you can go into 'clearing' where you can reapply to any uni thats has spaces on courses still available and get a place for the same (or different) course somewhere else

The fees are (as stated above) around £3000 (per year), but some are lower: Leeds Met, for example, have taken a decision to set fees at £2000.
A lot of universities are offering bursaries for UK based students- Manchester Met Uni (where I work) are offering a bursary of £1000 (per year) for most UK based (full time) undergrads. The link below is to the student support page of the Department of Education.
I'm not sure about the specifics of becoming an art teacher, but I would have thought you would need a teaching qualification after university.

it depends where you are from and what course you take.
if you are a uk or an eu citizen, your fees will be about £3000 per year.
on the other hand, if you are an international student, ie not from uk or eu, expect to pay a whopping £10K - £15K per year (yes the government does think that international students are cash cows! :@)
there is living costs to be considered and as a student you can only work part time 20 hrs per week

About eight thousand plus food and drink, accommodation, transportation. As for entry college you must obtain certified passing recognised grades in any field to be accepted into university

Tuition fees are £3070 per year at most unis.
Then you have to pay for living costs.
