HI Ya
Just to let you know that you can search for old topics on finance as most people have asked this b4. HSBC do a professional studies loan, that 6 or 7 of the 14 guys on my course (including) myself have got, though I recommend going to a Large branch that has experience of lending 50,000 quid ..... As for places that will remain open, we at Bae in Jerez have been told that BAe see this as a vital service that they provide to their customers in the aviation world so seems pretty likely that we will still be here, considering that BAe are a fairly large organisation. Canīt speak for anyone else though I would imagine that Oxford will be around for the duration as they have the RAF contract, as sponsored pilots dry up.
Good luck
Hope this helps
