From biomed into sociology. Will he still get maintenance loan if he has to self subsidise the first year?

Hi Rali.stef,

Thank you for confirming. We would take the 2 years previous study into account, therefore it is likely that he would need to self fund the Tuition Fees in year 1 of the new course. Can you confirm the duration of the new course?

Thanks, Clare

Hi there,

He would most likely have to self fund the Tuition Fees for his first year but he'd receive a Maintenance Loan for all years of the new course.

Thanks, Ross
