Would I get a student loan?

[ImNotAnsweringIt]

I have the equivalent of a foundation degree so could top up one year full time (currently £8200 [gasp])

My other option is part time study at OU except they don't offer top up in my subject so I'd have to start again in a different subject (which I'd love to do as want a career change). Obviously pros and cons to both with work/childcare etc to think about too.

Would I qualify for a loan as I can't do anything without so I can just stop thinking about it anyway...

I started (have done 2years) at OU, took time out for ds2 and now fees have somewhat increased

You should get a loan for the top-up year yes.

Finding a university to take you on the other hand..... (generally we prefer a three year degree commitment rather than a one year commitment).

Thank you. The specific top up course I'd being offered at two universities I know of (and they're crying out for students to do it!) so that will be fine.

Not for OU though? I'd prefer that really.

Is not I'd!

Either way you'd onlybe entitled to a year's loan. So even if you did a full time equivalnent year with a loan with the OU, the remaining two years equivalent woulnd't be funded from the SLC.

Thank you very much, that's helpful.
