MSc towards BSc?

So I currently already hold an FdSc and have just started an MSc... I was wondering can I use any of my MSc modules towards a BSc?

I get very confused with the whole credit and level thing but wondered how it worked?

I'm confused. How can you do a master degree without an undergraduate degree?
What are you talking about, Dobby???

this is not impossible. It usually requires relevant industry experience and the applicant should probably have to be over, say, 25.
Okay so I have a FdSc, I haven't topped up to a BSc but I have gone straight into an MSc and got on the course with industry experience. However I was wondering if the modules / credits from an MSc could be also used towards a BSc or if I chose to do a BSc in the future, I would need to do all of the modules.

I don't think so, you'd be topping up your FdSc instead. Plus the MSc makes a BSc irrelevant so I can't see you being in that situation anyway.

Okay that make sense, what about if I stepped off before an MSc and finished with a PGDip?

A PGDip is a higher qualification than a BSc, so you wouldn't get any Student Finance for a BSc. Same if you complete the MSc.

The PGDip is still higher than the BSc so it would overrule it, although a PGDip is just a masters minus the dissertation so I'm not sure why you would do that.

Because I think a dissertation would break me. But hey a while to go before we get there yet!
