sfe help

I used up my extra 'gift' year for student loan last year and started a course at another university this year. now I want to transfer to another university but SAME course. would I need to apply through UCAS? Is transferring possible without me having to pay any money out of my own pocket?
back ground info:
-currently doing foundation year and want to transfer into year 1 at a Different uni
-the foundation year is not integrated
-I did not finish my first year completely last year but I withdrew in July so all three tuition fee payments were made
let me know if more info is needed

Hi there,

How many years have you previously studied with us and is the new course 4 years in total? Thanks, Jason

Hi Mh83,

We calculate your future entitlement as follows: Course length + 1 year - previous study = entitlement.

Therefore, if you were to begin a new 4 year course for example and have 2 years of previous study, the calculation would be 4+1-2= 3 years. This means that you will be fully funded for years 2, 3 and 4 of the 4 year course, however for the first year you will need to self fund your tuition fees as you will only receive the Maintenance Loan and supplementary grants if applicable for that year.

Thanks, Clare

Hi Mh83,

Yes, that is correct.

The previous study calculation would still be; Course length + 1 year - previous study = entitlement.

If you attend a 4 years course, it would be 4+1-2= 3 years full remaining entitlement

If you attend a 3 year course, it would be 3+1-2=2 years full remaining entitlement

This means that you need to self fund the Tuition Fees in the 1st year of a new course that is either 3 or 4 years in length.

Thanks, Clare
