Hi there,
You may be awarded a level 5 qualification if you completed your second year successfully.
Speaking from experience, I did two years out of three (at a different university) and had to take time out due to personal reasons, and was allowed a maximum of two years before the NMC stated I had to begin from the start again (though this was back in 2017 and may have changed).
Who told you that you can't continue?
If you wish to continue your degree, I strongly recommend that you contact the faculty and discuss this with the programme lead, and find out why this is, and if there's any possibility of returning
Good luck, and I wish you the best
