Funding for BA top up after a degree apprenticehip

Hi,

Have been looking for the answer for this question everywhere and was wondering if you could help? This year I have completed a degree apprenticeship at level 5 which is equivalent to foundation degree level, this was also funded via the app levy of my employer (not though SFE), the course length was officially 2.5 years but completed in 18months but one set payment was made for the course by my employer.

I would now like to top this up into a full BA and have found a course at Portsmouth University that is delivered part time starting sept 2021 and is over 18 months, the question I have would I now be eligible to claim the funding from SFE for this whole course?

There is a lot of information about, just not aimed at degree apprenticeships so any help would be great! Thank you.

Hi Isaac,Higher education as in degrees? I hold the degree apprenticeship which is foundation level no other previous studies or applications for student finance, I am British in nationality. Thanks, Simon

Hi Isaac, yes the degree apprenticehip I completed was a degree apprenticeship which is the equivalent level, great to know the funding is available.Just one more question I was made redundant as a result of Covid-19, I am currently not in employment would I just put my salary as zero and update when I am back in work?Thanks for all your help so far!
