Student finance for part-time students by SLC

Posted on behalf of nrorbinson869

I'm currently studying part time MSc Finance with the OU, and have received one payment of £1130 from my PG loan (max amount requested) so far. I am now considering changing to an MSc in a different subject starting September 2018 at Nottingham University. I cannot seem to find out whether this counts as a transfer for the purposes of the PG loan... If I do withdraw and restart, will I be able to take the remainder of my PG loan with me to the new course at Nottingham?

How long does it take to process grant applications?

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could give me some clarification to SFE
I am currently undergoing my second year part time ba honours with the OU. I am in the second year and once this has been completed will equate to the first year of soon full time. I am looking to attend my local uni in sept 2018 to complete my remaining 2 Years full time at the bricks and mortar uni. How would this affect my finance application? Would I still be entitled to full funding as I’m not doing a new course just doing a credit transfer to a different uni? My circumstances won’t have changed (LP with 2 deps and working pt) but just worried that student finance would only pay for Part funding even though it’s the same course and going towards the same degree??

Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you
