Maternity and Tuition Fee funding

Hi,

Sorry as this is a bit of a complicated question. I am not pregnant but would like to start thinking about having children. However, I began studyig Adut Nursing with Foundation Year in April 2021. I completed my Foundation Year and Year 1 and enrolled in Year 2 of Nursing and then began to lose my sight. In April 2023 it was decided I was no longer able to continue Nursing. I was then able to transfer to a Psychology and Counselling course which began in September 2023. As I had already had my 4 years of Tuition Fee Loan I had to apply for Compelling Circumstances in order to be able to get Tuition Fee funding for the remaining 2 years of my Psychology and Counselling Degree.

What i'd like to know is, if I were to (hopefully) become pregnant and take a year out of Uni would I then be able to return after maternity leave or would I not be entitled to any more Tuition Fee funding? Would I be eligible for Compelling Circumstances? Or would I not be able to gety any more Tuition Fee funding due to already having my 4 years +2 for Compelling Circumstances? I'm so desperate to ave children but do not want to give up my studies if it means I am not able to return in the future.

Many thanks

Hi there, what is the name of the course you're looking to study or is it the same course you're on just now? Thanks, Jason
