Hi there,
Whether you are a new student or a continuing student is a decision made by the university you are studying with. If you start a new course from the first year, you are normally classed as a new student and therefore subject to Tuition Fee amounts up to a maximum of £9000.
In the first instance, we would award you full funding for all years of your new course plus an extra gift year and then minus the 2 years of your previous study to calculate the number of years you are entitled to full funding for the new course. Any years of full entitlement would be awarded to the last years of the new course.
Thanks,
