Can I get 5 years of student loan?

Did 1 year of a course, dropped out for a year, then switched to another. About to finish 3rd year but want to switch to the integrated masters course for my subject. Will I get a 5th year of loan? Thanks :smile:

Hi there, The standard way we calculate funding is as follows:
- Students are entitled to funding for their course duration.
- We then award students an additional year of funding, should they need to repeat or change their course.
- We then take any previous study into consideration and this then gives a student their entitlement available for their course.
If there were mitigating circumstances as to why you didn't complete your previous course then you can apply for what is called Compelling Personal Reasons.
More information on this can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/going-back-to-uni-or-repeating-a-year

Hi there

I would recommend looking through the Gov website for more information on going back to uni or repeating a year. You can find more information here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/going-back-to-uni-or-repeating-a-year

Hope this helps
