Hi there, I'm looking at starting an Open University course, but I have some questions about finance.
I dropped out of University in 2010, and received a student loan to pay the fees.
I then enrolled on a Foundation Degree (biggest mistake ever), and received a student loan for that too (£3,000). So in total I owe £6,000 of tuition fees and I haven't got anything to show for it.
I'm still enrolled on my Foundation Degree, but it's not really for me. I'm really interested in doing an Open University course, but I'm not sure how Student Finance would feel about it.
Since the fees have went up to 9k/year, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford them without some form of loan. Are there any options available to me? Have I ruined my chances of getting a degree that I'm actually interested in?
Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
