Definitely would be a great option except we simply can’t finance a move to London for the foundation year on top of a degree / diploma :/Robin64 wrote:How about that 4 year course at London college of music that has been mentioned in other thread? I think you are free to move elsewhere after the foundation year but equally can stay for the degree. Decent option?
You don't pay for the foundation at LCM it is covered by student loan which is what makes it unusual. Your DD would get maintenance loan too plus possibly the £2000 bursary they offer to foundation students (plus they also give another £2000 if they stay on for degree). No initial different costs to her getting in to any degree course just extra year of student loans. If you have a poor local option I would really consider something like this plus there would be no stopping her trying other courses next year as far as I can see unless the bursary has a clause in about staying. Otherwise you could book up some good pre-voc or audition prep easter / summer courses plus try YMT or NYMT or NYT then audition again. I don't know much about LCM but have looked at their website and the chat on here seems positive. Definitely a purse friendly option I would say.scottishdancer00 wrote:Definitely would be a great option except we simply can’t finance a move to London for the foundation year on top of a degree / diploma :/Robin64 wrote:How about that 4 year course at London college of music that has been mentioned in other thread?
