Break in studies at BCU - nursing

Good evening,
I am writing to ask more information about breaks in studies.
I am year one nursing student, and I need a break in studies until February 2026 (financial issues), but I am wondering how does it work and if this is possible?
I have submitted my last 2 assessments for year one but I am not currently attending my second and last placement block for the year

I wanted to know what options do I have, as year one was almost finishing but placement block is remaining, if I get the break now, will I be eligible to go in year 2 from January 2026 ?(Assuming I passed my last 2 assessments, but not completed my last placement block for year one).
I am a bit confused, anyone know anything?

Thank you

Hi @Sarai0

My best advice would be to contact your personal tutor to discuss your options as they will have an exact understanding of your situation and what you still need to complete to progress onto second year.

Hope that helps and you are able to get everything sorted!
