Finance after 1 year on degree apprentiship

Hi there,
I started a degree apprenticeship July last year but now want to leave and go to University this year. Will I be entitled to student finance?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi, a level 2 apprenticeship won't affect your eligibility to be funded for a higher education course.

You can view the full eligibility criteria here https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies

Thanks, Isaac

Thanks for the reply Isaac. A degree apprenticeship is not a level 2 I believe it's a level 6. Does this make a difference? I have read the information on the link but it doesn't explain it.

An apprenticeship is level 2. Can you provide more information about the course?

A level 6 qualification is like an honours degree.
Thanks, Isaac

Hi Issac, So I am just coming up to my first year as a degree apprentice. The course is a 4 year BSc Hons Digital and Technology via a large accountancy firm. Having had to work from my bedroom for the last year and now being told I will only be going to the office 2 days a week I have decided it's no longer for me.

I am trying to figure out whether or not going to University would be a viable option for me. However if I have to pay my first years tuition fees that I would probably not be able to do it.

I can't seem to find any accurate information and need to know before accepting any course.

The calculation we use to work out entitlement for full time undergraduate students is:

length of course + 1 additional year - previous study = entitlement

So your current course is a 4 year Bsc hons course, is that correct? Please can you also confirm how many years of previous study you have at higher education level (not level 2 apprenticeship).
Thanks, Isaac

Hi Issac,
So I completed my A levels then took a year off and worked. I started my degree apprenticeship at the end of July last year and my Uni course started in September 2020. I would be due to complete it in 2024. Obviously the degree side of the apprenticeship has only been a small part of my working week. The rest of the time I have been working remotely within a team.

Thanks for your help with this
