Tuition Loan for topping up to BA

Hi all, I am looking at studying with the Open University. As far as I understand it their BA Degree (360 credits) is "broken down" into a Certificate of Higher Education (1/3 or resp 120 credits) and Diploma of Higher Education (2/3 or 240 credits).
As at present I am not sure if I would be able to do all the study for 6 years (part time) I am looking at applying for the Certificate first, and then Diploma and hopefully the Degree but I am not sure if I would be eligible for a Tuition Loan to cover the top to Diploma and the BA degree?

Hi there, would both the HND and HNC be through the Open University? Thanks, Jason

Hi there,

Thanks, you'll be fine to do all of this.

As a part-time student you have a total of 16 years of funding to claim.

Thanks, Graeme
