Funding for a second undergraduate degree

Hi all, I'm currently doing an undergraduate degree, however, I am thinking of quitting the degree I am doing next year and doing another one. I currently do Bsc Pharmacology and I'm hoping to do MPharm Pharmacy. But the question I have is that Student finance will cover funding for two years, since MPharm Pharmacy is a four degree I'm starting to worry if I would be responsible for funding the tuition fees and maintenance loans by myself. If anyone can give me any advice then that would be helpful, thank you.
Hi,

What is making you want to drop out of the undergraduate course? What year of study are you currently in? Would you be willing to complete your undergraduate course and then complete a masters in Pharmacy. Student Finance typically will only fund 4 years for a undergraduate degrees and then 1 year for a masters degree. Once you have used up this funding, you will be responsible to fund the rest of your degree.

Hi Chloe,

How many years have you studied for previously? Would you be getting direct entry into any years of the new course?

Thanks,
Ross
