STUDENT FINANCE HELP after 2 years of studying

Hi,

Please can somebody kindly give me some advice, I have been reading some guidance online but it doesn't seem to apply to my circumstances.

What's the funding condition if a student has studied (full-time) for two years (foundation course) but didn't achieve a full foundation degree certificate hence unable to proceed to a full BA degree. Only received an award of higher education. Now, want to study a foundation degree course on a different subject. It's actually a BA course which is 3 years but starting with foundation degree.

Would there be some student funding help so can finally hopefully finish and achieve a degree.

Many thanks in advance

Hi there,

So does your new course have three or four academic years?

Hi Nihad,

Thank you. The new course is a three year (BA final year) but some students have an option to just complete the foundation years but should they wish to do so then can carry on to do the BA final year. I haven't got any degree qualification yet as I only managed to pass my level 4 (previous course) due to illness/mental health issue I struggled with the second year of previous course. This new course the uni is working to also get it listed under Alliance of Health practitioner course but since its new course they've not had time to do it. I would very much appreciate your advise please as I'm feeling so stressed with pressure from uni asking me about student loan funding. Thank you in advance.

Sorry just to add, when I submitted my form online, there was insufficient space for me to explain what happened during my previous studies but I just managed to type a short sentence to explain it. What else do I need to do? I never had to do this before so unsure as to what to do. Uni is not much help all they're interested is that they get their money.

Hello,

What subject is the three year BA they're trying to get listed as a Allied Health Professional (AHP) course?

Just to confirm, this won't be a 2 year foundation degree course with an option of a 1 year top up course? It will be a 3 year BA (Hons) from the beginning?

Do they offer a part time option?

Thanks, Isaac.

Hi Isaac,

Thank you. Will check the private messenger. Just out of interest, can student finance write a letter of confirmation to uni perhaps just to say you are looking into the student's application etc and to give a bit more time. Reason I'm asking , uni is putting a lot pressure asking for the fees etc, saying why is this not done etc. I thought they'll be a bit more supportive but it sounds like they just want to hear that they're going to get paid tomorrow or might as well quit studying. They don't want to know anything else which is very disappointing. When they talk to you, it sounds like you're being punished as if you've done them wrong ha,ha. It makes you feel like giving up. Sorry for the moan.
