Change of course at same university

I am currently a Year Zero student studying an Engineering Foundation.

I would like to enquire about the financial implications of changing my course and department for progression from year zero to year 1.

I was intending to progress to year 1 studies at the Department of Engineering however, I would now like to pursue a degree and progression from year zero Engineering to Year 1 Music Technology at the Department of Music. I have secured a place on the course and meet all associated criteria.

As I would be progressing from Year Zero to year 1, albeit at a different department, would this have a negative impact on my current student finance arrangements? I do not intend to withdraw or suspend my studies just progress into a different department.

Thank you very much for your help and advice.

HI Scott,

When would you be starting this course? How long is the course? Is the course full time? Do you have any other previous study?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi Claire,

I would be progressing on to year 1 of a 3 year Music Technology degree instead of year 1 of a 3 year Engineering degree. I have all the finance in place for Engineering the only difference is the course code.

I do have previous study from many years ago (not from this course im currently registered on). I successfully claimed Extenuating Circumstances due to medical reasons.

It's the same university and length of course I will just be progressing on to a different degree at a different department but at the same university.

HI Scott,

Can you please tell us the full name of the music course you'd like to study, and the university you're with?

How many years of previous study did you have before beginning your current course?

Thanks, Graeme
