    How many years are funded?
    Hello,
    I'm wondering if I take a foundation year for Computing at Keele and take a 3 year BSc in Creative Computing, would I be funded for an industry year as well? (Totalling 5 years)

    The amount of years is based on a formula, and not a fixed amount.

    This formula is:

    Length of course + 1 year - previous HE study

    Therefore, if you take a foundation year, then go on to study a 4 year degree which includes a year in industry you would get full funding for the duration of your course. Bear in mind, by taking the foundation course you will have used your "+1" year so therefore will not be able to re-take any years with full funding.
