Taking a year out of uni

Hiya,

I've just started my third year, although i am going to be taking a year out for personal reasons.
What happens with my finance? do I have to pay it back now to student finance?

If you've enrolled and been paid this this term's maintenance money, then yes, you will be expected to repay it all in a lump sum.

Any finance you received in years 1 & 2 are paid back in the normal way. (ie, when you earn over £21k per year)

Hi, I have a couple quick questions, if someone could please help answer for me? Sorry it's not related to you but maybe you can help me?

thanks.

Is it possible to take a gap year after the 1st and/or 2nd year of university? How hard is it to be allowed to take one? I've heard you can take years off if your sick. For a student who wants to take a year off between years so that he can work and save up money to pay for the tuition fees, is that a good enough reason (if gap years are allowed that is)? In case you know their specific policies, I'm hoping to get into either Qmul or Kcl god willing.

Thanks!
