    Refused Tuition Support, Help Please!
    Hi, I've just recieved a letter from Student Finance, refusing Tuition Payment for 12/13 for the 5 year Masters Degree in Architecture. This is due to 2 years previous studying on a Foundation Degree in Interior Architecture, which I was told before the start of the course, would knock 2 years off my Architecture course at University. It didn't, which resulted in a lose of 2 years, as well as several thousand pounds. Not to mention I missed the lower tuition fees. I am, however, still funded for the 4 remaining years, but I find it impossible to come up with £9,000 by September. I'm looking for any support possible, otherwise going to University is completely out of the question. Is there payment deferal or anything else that could help me at all? Any information would be really appreciated, thank you.

    If youre on a very low income the universities [some of them at least] offer bursarys, scholarships and financial aid to people in monetry problems, worth ringing the university and asking them because aside from that unless you can fund it yourself somehow or appeal the SFE decision i dont think theres much you can do :/
