and will use the 4 th year to do a masters which will stand her in better stead employment wise because of her chosen field.

Usually, masters degrees are funded (or not funded) in a completely different way from undergraduate degrees, so I am surprised that funding allocated for part of a BA/BSc could be redirected for postgraduate study.

It is also very unusual for postgraduate study to provide any kind of substitute for work experience: both are likely to be beneficial, but they are vastly different and develop the student in different ways.
