    Funding for first year at a different uni
    Hi guys. Im completing the last year of my degree. I wish to pursue another degree. Would it be possible to get student finance funding for my first year and then fund the other two years by myself?

    You can get 5 years of funding, so yes. Bear in mind when paying it yourself you will be paying very expensive tuition fees straight away - do you have the money saved up?

    if you complete your degree then you arent entitled to any more funding except in certain cases most of which i believe are NHS health degrees

    As a graduate you won't get student finance to pay fees for any part of a second undergraduate degree.
    The maximum number of years funding available for a first undergraduate degree is irrelevant for starting a second undergraduate degree.
    You need to think about eu universities or distance learning.
