Dd wants to do a certain degree that is Australia, my instinct says that she won't be able to use UK grants and loans to do this. Where can I find out this info?

She can't.

I don't know if Australia's version of student finance would help either.

If she wants to go to the EU she can apply for loans / grants whatever as a local.

If she spent a year abroad in Australia as part of a uk degree she would get UK grants and loans but not if she did her whole degree there.

And she would be charged foreign student fees. Which are much nearer the actual cost of a degree.

And Australia is expensive now -- Sydney is as expensive as London, New York, or Tokyo.
