Hello again!
After I had a chat on the phone with a recruitment lady at Scarborough University I had a chat with my tutor and she said that:
If I apply for a HNC then I will have to do 5 years at Uni to get a BSc in Computing Science, is this true? And will I be able to get a student loan for all 5 years if so? I originally hoped that I could do 3 years to get a BSc but this has kinda dampened my hopes a bit.. Thanks.

An HNC is normally a one year course and is equivalent to the first year (of a three year) degree course.
Their full time course info here mentions 3 years and the HNC for Y1.

I wanted to do it full time but my tutor has confused me. I thought that I'd just have to top up to a HND then a BSc and I thought it would just take 3 years but my tutor said it'd take 5 years :/.

Call them back if you are unclear about what they are saying
Edit: tell them you want to do the degree from the outset.

Thank you, should I change my UCAS application to apply for the Degree? I'd have to ask for it to be sent back to me by my college. I originally applied for the HNC, but I didn't realize it would be any different to the BSc. I really haven't been very well informed about any of this. I think it might also be my course tutor wanting me to stay for an extra year to get the extended diploma.

The course is exactly the same.

I would guess Doones is correct and imo your tutor is wrong because they have simply aggregated the 2 years of doing a HND with 3 years for an UG degree.

Yes I think the college tutor (not Scarborough) is getting themselves very confused. I bet they think it's 1 year for the HNC, and then another 2 years for the HND, and then (weirdly) another 2 years for the top-up to the degree. When it fact the "HNC" year 1 simply leads to the "HND" year 2 and then the degree in year 3. A student would only be awarded the HNC or HND if they stopped ("graduated"
at that stage.
