I will be applying through the UCAS at the end of next year with my International Baccalaureate scores. I am predicted a 43 so I suppose I could just chose up, problem is the financial aid part which is really rare in the UK, although I lived there for 4 years so I assume I can work something out.

To be considered a “home” student and be eligible for reduced fees you have to have lived in the EU for at least 4 years prior to starting your course for “reasons other than education” (which I take to mean not at boarding school or anything. But I’m not sure). I have never met an overseas undergrad who has ever been able to get any kind of scholarship from the UK. Most get money from the governments of their own countries so I’d advise you to start look NOW! Don’t wait to “work something out” after you have been accepted. It might be too late.
