Hi! Can I apply for student finance before official switch of uni?

Basically I am doing my foundation year in graphic design at Lcca
But I will be changing into year 1 of animation at escape studios.
They already gave me conditional offer and I have already met some of the conditions aka IELTS test.
I haven’t finished my foundation year tho (few weeks left )

So can I apply for student finance for the new uni or should I wait to finished my foundation year ?

Hi @mimimimi996

You should be able to apply for student finance now. If anything changes with your course you would be able to change the details on your student finance application.

Hope that helps!

If you expect to meet your offer conditions then apply now for student finance for next year as a continuing student.

When you get to the question asking if you will be on the same course/university tick “no” and then add in the details for your new course at Escape.
