After a lot of mixed messages from different sources on the internet, I think I understand that I can't get Student Finance maintenance loan for my foundation year?
I hope I get into Manchester Met for my art and design foundation year, because if I don't I'll have to go to Leeds. I am concerned that I won't be able to go if I can't get funding as I would have to live away.
Furthermore, lots of Unis when looking to apply for a Fine Art course, actually have as a requirement a foundation year in Art and Design in order to apply and get into their university for an Art Degree. Why then is this foundation year treated differently, if its a requirement to do it for art courses!?
It is so ridiculous that this is the case! When good art universities want a foundation year, I don't understand why its not treated more seriously!
