Previous study calculation
im currently studying CIPS level 4 but am hoping to apply to do my first degree in 2026. would my cips level 4 qualification reduce my SFE tuition loan? ive seen that the typical calculation is duration of course+ 1 year - previous study. but the cips level 4 qualification doesnt have a set duration?

Yes, we take all previous study from level 4 onwards into consideration when determining your eligibility for funding. Thanks, Jason

hi jason, thanks for the response. cips level 4 is a 60 credit qualification with no set duration so how does that factor into the calculation. would that just be Duration of course+1- 1?
im planning to do a 4 year course where the 3rd year is a work placement. would i be eligible for full tuition loan cover? not sure how the placement year is factored in as well so any further advice or clarification is appreciated.
