Student finance query, changing courses

I am wanting to change my course from a degree to a HND I have done a foundation year and completed every module of year 1, baring I failed one. I am currently on absence leave. I know I will have to pay for the first year of my HND, but if I plan to top up to get a degree, will I have to pay fully as well, or will it be funded?

Hi there, is it 2 years of previous study you have and is this for a new full time course? Thanks, Jason

Hi there,

Okay, just to clarify: is this a two year course?

Do you know how long your top-up course will be?

Thanks, Graeme

We fund all years of a full time course + 1 additional year for tuition fees for additional years to claim back you can look to CPR: Compelling Personal Reasons. I've enclosed further information below: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/going-back-to-uni-or-repeating-a-year thanks, Jason
