Would student finance fund a brick uni degree after I've started an OU degree?
Hi, I've completed 3 years of part time study with the Open University in psychology, but I'm no longer enjoying it. I've had a change of heart and really want to study an undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics at a brick university. Would student finance fund me to do this?
Many thanks for any advice!

Were you awarded any qualifications (CertHE or DipHE) from OU?

No I haven't. I'm a bit worried because I've seen people saying online that student finance only fund up to 480 credits. I've already studied 180 credits with the OU, and a full-time undergraduate degree would take me up to 520 credits. I don't know what to do 😕

For previous study rules part time years are only counted against your full time entitlement if you were awarded a qualification.
If you didn’t get any qualifications then you don’t need to list your previous study with OU on your full time funding application.
