It is aload of crock that the police and army etc can discriminate on age, really it should be down to capability.The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

Wow, at 29? I'm quite shocked.. you would think they would appreciate more 'mature' people. I'm 27 and have only just decided what I want to do..

Steer clear of foundation degrees - they are not really worth much in the jobs market, but the accrued debt will be the same as if he had studied a proper hons degree.0

Rather like the HNDs they're replacing, they really need to be topped up to an honours degree to be generally accepted.0 -

I have to disagree, I myself have a Foundation Degree in my field and got paid a lot more for it. Maybe not the case in all fields but thats quite a general statement. Also my student loan would have been considerably more if i had studied an extra year. My husband may well continue for the extra year as of yet it just depends on the situation at the time.
He has considered these options carefully and we were looking for constructive advice on the financial side of studying.
