UK: further education colleges are state funded, I can't think of any purely private ones off the top of my head. The funding organisations would act to 'protect provision' if a college did fail - the funders can require mergers &c.

The fees they are charging tend to suggest that the University is not claiming skills funding agency money for this foundation course. In the UK further education colleges work at a level below universities and what we call 'level 3' qualifications (e.g. A levels, BTEC National Diploma &c) are needed to enter most university courses. Universities can offer their own foundation courses - a foundation year is common in the fine art field.
