I've been going out with my Japanese girlfriend for around ~6 months.
I've known for a long time that she wants to study abroad and that she wants to do a degree in 'jewellery' or 'jewellery design' (it's named different things in different places).

Ideally it would be great if she could come to the UK to do her degree especially if (for a while) we could stay at my parents we wouldn't have to worry about the costs of bills and rent etc. until I found a job.
Although she's interested in the UK to study she's said that it's very expensive for her to study there.
I don't know if it's possible, but is there anyway she can get a grant or a bursary or something? I know the UK is expensive, I don't know if it's more expensive than the US, Canada, Aus or other places. Is it?

I know it's her choice to do a degree somewhere abroad and I should respect her life ambition but I've been in Japan for only just over 2 years and it feels like my home already. If I had to then move to a different country (not the UK) for her degree - that'd be another 3 years away from my home and in a place i'd have to somehow get a visa to work there for (unless it was the in the EU).
I came to Japan because I wanted to - I have no intention of living abroad anywhere else where I would be practically starting from scratch again and I can't get on with any ambitions I have.

I know it's also a question of our relationship but I feel this will all work a lot better for both of us if she came to the UK to study - It wouldn't matter where in the UK it was either.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about international students in the UK - does anyone have any advice they can give me? Or any ideas on how I can convince her to come here?

Thanks.
