GSA do and some of the others will offer top up scholarships/bursaries that means the excess fees are paid by them - I'm not sure what proportion of offers they do this for though.

Performers college are offering the degree course from September. Like Bird the student loan covers the fees so no top up needed xx

Same with Italia Conti degree starting this September- covered in full by student loan.
Certainly seem to be some more affordable options becoming available!

Hi
They already do a degree course but you only get £6000 towards fees as a private school also I believe the course is about £14,000 a year so big shortfall.

Watch out some places seem fully funded but require additional fees which are supposedly optional but are not really eg PPA which asks for an extra £1250 per year for "extra activities" - ie what you should be doing anyway included in any normal fees (we had thread on funding if you can find it which discussed this)

Mountview and Arts ED do degrees - they are just not fully covered by student finance and require fairly substantial top ups. As I think does Laine? not too sure on this as we didn't look there.
Urdang needs topping up but sometimes covers this difference in funding for degree students and it is much less than at some schools - about £1000/£1500 maybe? (off top of my head but not 100% sure of amount)
