Those who have PWC Flying Start as firm, are we eligible for student finance?

Basically have gotten the place at PWC Accountancy flying start at queen Mary and Manchester with Qmul as firm. Was wondering if I'm eligible for student finance or not because its a degree apprenticeship

I assume it's the same as any other course so you can get student finance. Why don't you apply and see what happens.

Yes you are eligible. Also, flying start is not a degree apprenticeship. Flying Start is regular university but instead of having a placement year in which you have to find a placement, Flying Start guarantees your placements with PwC. A degree apprenticeship, on the other hand, is where you enter a firm as a trainee and commit to a full time job (usually whilst completing a professional qualification/degree on the side).
