إذا كنت أعيش ثلاث سنوات في المملكة المتحدة، هل يمكنني الحصول على قرض دراسي إذا كنت في السنة الثالثة (وهي سنة التنسيب الصناعي)؟
Translation: If I live three years in the UK, can I get a study loan if I am in the third year (which is the year of industrial placement)?
The answer is 'it is not simple', or "Perhaps but there are a number of conditions".
Firstly I assume you would be studying in the UK, and are looking to the govt student loan scheme - if not then it would depend on which organization you wanted to borrow money from, and you would simply have to ask them
In general loans are awarded to students only on qualifying courses. so check that first with the university or college , but then it gets messy - you need to be resident for 3 years, a UK national or any one of a number of other conditions, and the course intensity has to exceed a certain fraction - so things where you are mostly working and a little study, (like apprenticeships) do not count.

is worth a read, and the web pages on either side of it/
Then there is the question of the university fees for the year in industry - this varies but many places charge a significant fraction of the normal course fees because you are still on their books as it were, even if not attending in person.
Then there is how much the placement pays you.- if the placement is unpaid, then you can get a the same funding as a normal study year. But most placements are paid something , so do not qualify for the same student loan as the other years, but somethings like money towards accommodation, you can claim for.
You will need the details of the course, the type of placement, and your own eligibility to hand, and then you need to ask the student loan people.

If you are considered to be taking Unpaid Service in your placement year then you can apply to Student Finance England for the same types of student funding for your living costs as you would in the other years of your course.
