Would past part time study loan affect my full time loan

Hi there. Yes, you would need to disclose this on the applicaiton. Can you confirm the full name of the course you are looking to study now and how many years this would be? How many years of previous study do you have in total? Thanks, Leah.

I want to study biomedical science with foundation year. I studied part time with open university for 3years and then 2 years I withdrew 2 times

Thank you, when was it you received the Certificate of Higher Education, was it after the two years, or three years?
Thanks, Graeme

I completed the certificate of he in one year in 2021 but claimed it in January 2025. I didnt know it was going to affect it. I only claimed it because others said that its nice to claim it every year of a degree .

Hi there,
What qualification will you receive from your new course?
Thanks,
Claire

How many years will your new course be and just confirm you studied 5 years in total on the part time course? Thanks, Leah.

Hi Wanesa1996,
If you gained the qualification after year 5, that would be included in your previous study. The previous study calculation is the new course length, plus an additional year, minus any previous study years (the years it took to gain the qualification).
It sounds like you gained the qualification after 3 years, is that correct? If so, the calculation would be 4+1-3= 2 years, this would mean that you would only be eligible for Maintenance Loan and any applicable grants in years 1 and 2 of the new course, as you would need to self fund the Tuition Fees in year 1 and 2. You would receive full support in years 3 and 4 of the new course.
If you were to start an honours degree, the calculation would be different as that would be considered to be a top up to your previous qualification received.
Thanks, Clare

would I be funded If I do nursing with foundation year? would I be funded for the foundation year too? it would be 4yrs

Hi there,
Is the foundation year included within the 4 year course or separate? Can you confirm the course name and university you would study and when this would start? We can check this on system to see if its one of our exception courses.
Thanks,
Claire
