The basic question here is surely "I used something, then refused to pay for it - do I have to pay?"
You didn't complete the 4th year through your own choice. Why should they pay for it?0 -
You're confusing me by talking about a post grad degree; are you actually talking about a first degree?0

Maybe he was repeating the same one year course over and over again, but he didn't realise because nobody told him?
Gone ... or have I?0 -

Many years ago I took an additional 2 A levels at night school and due to a fmaily problem I never sat the exams, however it never occured to me to ask for my fees back as I had been attending three evenings a week, I had received all the print outs and book lists, had attended lectures and had my course work marked..so I had benefitted from the course even though I never actually got any qualification out of it.
Isn't this scenario a little bit the same..you had the benefit of the course but you choose not to use it.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

What an extraordinary story!
I am quite sure that the student (OP ) is obliged to pay all the fees in question. The liability to pay begins as soon as you register at the beginning of each academic year.
However, I suggest seeking the help of the student's union, who should be able to negotiate some arrangement whereby late submission of the missing/failed work and eventual graduation is permitted.0
