Funding for switching universities

I am currently a second year student at bcu and want to swap to a directly similar course at mmu, just for personal reasons. I have spoken to the university and I would be seriously considered due to how similar our course modules are. I have considered transferring into the third year but i am worried about this because obviously it is the most important year and i wont know anything about the way they teach and what they were taught in the modules. Through this i have decided to retake the second year there, but does anyone know if student finance would still fund this? thank you !!
