If she's looking at a 3 year course, she'll be eligible for student funding for years 2 and 3. Her maintenance funding will be assessed on her partner's income as it was based on yours in the past.

i thought it might be year 3 she would have a problem with?

Nope. They work backwards. So, in your daughter's case, year 1 wouldn't generally be funded.

The formula used is length of course + 1 - previous years study.

No, it's definitely year one.

There's some discretion if she dropped out for compelling reasons, like ill health, pregnancy ot bereavement.
