changing course at the end of second year

I am currently in the second year of a healthcare-related BSc course (3 years), and I am thinking of withdrawing as I compromise my mental health a lot during placements (long-term condition, plus I lost a parent last summer). I still want a degree, so I hope to do a different course but part-time (4.5 years). Can I still get full funding for both tuition fees and maintenance loans?

Hi there. Do you have any idea of the new course you are looking to study. Just to confirm you have 2 years of previous study so far? Thanks, Leah.

The part-time undergrad course of 4.5 years I've mentioned is psychology. Yes, I've studied 2 full-time years so far.
Thank you.

Thank you. Psychology is an exception course if studied part time as long as its one of the following

•

part time honours degree

•

joint honours degree

•

integrated masters degree.

Therefore your previous study wouldn't be affected. If you are looking to begin this in 25/26 the part time applications will go live later in the spring. Thanks, Jason
