Switching from foundation year to new course

Hi, I'm currently studying aeronautical engineering as a single foundation year which leads on to the aerospace degree.

I remember being told that this foundation year will be part of the gift year for student finance, so my question is if I apply to a new uni and a new course that starts from the first year will I receive student finance the normal way?

Hi there. Yes, for example if the course is a 4 year course including a foundation year then you would still have the gift year. If you start a foundation year to enter onto a different course, then this would mean you would lose the additional year, as it would be classed as a different course. Thanks, Leah.

Hi leah, thanks for replying. So just to clarify I will get student finance if I go to a new course and university, but I just won't have a gift year?
