Second Foundation

Hello.
Firstly, I have finished my foundation year (Media Pathway), but I really realised that it not for me completely. I have been doing GCSE math this year (alongside the foundation) and I realised I really wanna study mathematics. I applied to university with mathematics foundation year, and got offer. Can I get finance again for foundation year? Do I need to send a letter to explain my situation.
Secondly, if it is possible I got my student loan for next 4 year ( 1 foundation + 3 BA) or only for 3 (1 foundation + 2 BA Student Loan + 1 Self-founded). And if I wanted to take a 4 year program MMath, for the MA degree is a different story with loans?
Many thanks!

Hi there, please confirm the following information:
The university you want to apply to?
The exact Mathematics course title?
Full Time or Part Time course?
How many years is the new course in total?
How many years of previous study have you used so far?
When are you planning to start your studies?
Thank you, Stephen.

Hi there,

I've enclosed our exception courses below

https://www.heinfo.slc.co.uk/resources/guidance/courses-management-service-user-guide/eligibility/equivalent-or-lower-qualification-elq-exceptions/?alttemplate=printchapter&id=1454

The course you're looking to do wouldn't be an exception course at a full time level. Thanks, Jason
