Hi all,
I know possibly there is a thread similar to mine but every each circumstance is particularly, so would like to get some help from you.
Two years ago I was studying Business and Tourism, I got that year funded by SFE.
After foundation year completed, i realise that the course was not for me, and wanted to follow environmental biology related course. So, I did a bit of research and realise that most of biological courses asked for A-levels of Biology and Chemistry.
The few Universities in London holding that related courses was ICL and Royal Holloway.
Just now I found out the ICL do not take foundation years, so option scratched.
Alternatively, also looked into Royal Holloway as a great option, but they didn't have any foundation year available, so I decide to go in a Biological Sciences Extended Degree (4 years) in London Met, complete the foundation and be able to apply to RHUL.
Last year when spoke to SFE, they said would accept fully my transfer because I still could use my remaining 4years of finance to fund the course.
At this moment, I have 2 years of studies funded, and I was calling to SFE to ask about my transfer to a Biology course (3 years) in September 2019 and the solutions they gave me to be able changing course is:
- only 2 years out of 3 funded;
- or need to change to a 4 year biology course (foundation included), and migrate to Year 1.
I thought I could still use my 3 years of funding, and carry on the studies. After all, I just put 1 year away.
Was my first idea to do this foundation year so I could move into a better path.
Please would like to ask you for some help, advices, ideas.
Really appreciate your help and time reading this.
Vitor
