Sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick thinking it was free like a level 3 but even if it's using student loan at least that's better than coughing up the lot yourself like us for a foundation and all things being normal you shouldn't need more than 4 years worth of finance anyway.
Sorry to not be clear x to me funded means I won't have to pay. Well it will be manageable for us x If money was no worries I would let her go for those dream places but sadly it is x

Thanks for all the input. It’s really helpful.
Interesting to hear that help with rent via housing benefit is available.
Is this for foundation courses only? Or any private BA course?

It would be for foundation not BA courses. It has to be not classed as higher education which a BA is.

Well just checked with student finance Wales and it will cover hnc and three yrs degree afterwards so that's good news x it's a shame they can't do that with foundation as it seems vital in this career x
