Questions on funding if switching to a four year course

Hi,

After realising my current degree is not for me I’m planning to take another subject. The degree I hope to switch to is a four year course that includes a foundation degree. Will I still be able to get funding for all four years despite having already completed a year on my current course?

Thanks in advance!

That clears that up. Thank you very much for your help.

You're very welcome

Kind regards,
John.

Another quick question - assuming I finish the first year of my current course, will I have to start a new finance application or can I just add the details of the newer uni/course when I reapply for finance in April?

Hi Rougarou,

If you complete the full year, you'll still be classed as returning student when you start the new course next year, so you can reapply and won't have to complete the full new student application.

If you were to withdraw from the course during the academic year, you'd then be classed as a new student and would have to apply on the full new student application. Similarly, if you finished this year and then took a gap of 1 year or more, you'd be classed as a new student as well.

Best wishes,
John.
