Previous PT study

Hi, I wonder they count PT study as full time with regards to finance?

Much appreciated. Thanks for your reply.

They count previous part time study as previous study regardless of whether it’s full time or part time.
the assumption is that if you have an HNC then you would be going into yr 2 of a degree.

Hi PQ,

Thanks for getting back. I understand it, I just don't get the logic.

For example, if a student wanted to apply for a different FT HONS degree after completing an HNC.
SF view 2 years of PT study, the same as 2 years of FT study, when calculating.

So for the student who studied PT for an HNC. They would have studied 2 years, so the entitlement for the HONS degree would be
( 4 - 2 years = 2 years funding). Unfortunately, this student wouldn't be able to fund the full course.

The student who studied FT for the HNC. They would have studied 1 year, so the entitlement for the HONS degree would be
( 4 - 1 years = 3 years funding). This student would be able to fund the full course, even though they both have the same qualifications.

I guess that's just the way they work it.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

There’s no logic. It’s government legislation.
