Student finance entitlement is calculated using previous study, not previous financing - so the formula would apply to you for any future funding:

New course Length + 1 year - previous study (regardless how it was funded)

Also bear in mind that if you complete your current degree and you are from England you would also have to deal with ELQ fees for most courses.

Thanks for replying! :smile:

So does that mean I may be eligible for 1 year's funding for my next course, as both courses last 3 years?

That is where ELQ may apply to you. This means, if you're from England and you wish to study on another course that's of equivalent or lower qualification then you will not get any support at all from SF, and will be faced with higher fees on par with international fees.

There are some courses that are exceptions to this rule, medicine, dentistry etc, but the exact ins and outs of this vary considerably depending on the course.

In short: if you complete your current course and graduate, for the vast majority of undergrad degrees you would not get any further SF support.
