I currently live in Scotland and am working towards an HND in business adminstration at college at the moment, however I was considering going to uni to do a degree but wanted to do it in england just to get away from home. But would I be entitle to get anything paid for like fees or anything like that?

Yep, as long as your home address remains in scotland. We moved up to Scotland four years ago, and I go to an English uni but still get my fees paid for me.
i think i could help. what course are you wanting to do at derby? i am doing an HND too, and with that you can sometimes do a year top-up course which will convert it into an honours degree, or sometimes enter into the second year of a relevant degree program. my course, business information technology, has its own top-up course, and i'd probably be able to get into 2nd year for similar courses like information technology. do get in touch with derby and ask them about it. i'm sure you will get in
It will also depend on your grade, if you pass with a high grade they are more likely to be let onto the 3rd year. But be warned I did almost exacty the same thing you are doing, I did Business HND then the 3rd year, it is quite a bit harder.
As for wanting to continue on to a degree course, that depends on the university you apply to and whether they deem that your current course and results are suitable for entry into the degree. You might have to sit an entrance exam or something so you can start in 3rd year for example.
Just get in touch with the uni, they're usually very helpful - you are a business customer after all
