My girlfriend doesn't have the grades to transition onto the course she wants to do at university (scotland). What are her options?

As the title says, my girlfriend is doing Psychology at the moment because her parents wanted her to do it. She wants to transition to do computer arts but doesn't have the Higher grades to be eligible. She just got out of a meeting with the course leader for Computer Arts and he said she would need to go back to college for 2 years and get an HNC then apply for second-year entry. She doesn't want to do this because it would mean she has to move away. I suggested looking to see if there are any online higher courses she can do but I'm at a loss.

edit: She's also tried applying for other courses at this uni but got turned away for the same reason.

What are her options? What can I do to help her? She hates her current course. Thanks for reading
