In regards to the extra certificate if you finish first year, I would say it could be worth it. I have had friends in similar positions (maybe different courses though) and they have completed their first year and say the certificate was worth getting. However, this could differ depending on your course and your uni so it could be worth trying to talk to someone at your uni about this.

Following on from this, if you haven't already I would recommend talking to your personal tutor/academic advisor if you have one, or just the careers team at your uni as they will have experience with students having these types of dilemmas so they should be able to help you with what could be right for you and what the certificate after first year will get you.

The other thing I would suggest is if you get the bursary but then leave the course, will you get to keep the bursary? Some have conditions such as you finishing the year/semester so it could be worth just checking this before you rely on getting it.
