Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

I've finished my 2nd year of study, how many years of funding do I have left?

I've finished my 2nd year of studying Economics at Uni but have decided not to carry on. If I chose a new course how many more years of funding would I have, would the tuition fees go up as well? Thanks.

you get 4 years, so 2, and if you are re-applying then yes, they would go up.

This 4 year thing is a common misconception.

When starting a new course, the length of support is calculated as:

course length + 1 - previous study

With two years of previous study, tuition fee loan and maintenance grant will be blocked for the first year of a new course, but you can still get a means tested maintenance loan.
