Mature student to be who has already done a degree

    Just a quick update - I've emailed the OU and they don't do either of the subjects I would like to study. However, there really are some very good foundation degrees out there, generally 2 years, full time. A lot of which can be topped up to degree level there-after.

    Still have yet to get in touch with the universities I'm looking at about the fees for their degrees if you have already done a degree; but I will post on here when I have some news about that too.

    Thanks again for everyone's posts! Most offered some very useful advice :-)

    I thought they could apply for the basic maintenance loan?

    Or is that just people who did not actually complete their first degree and have to fund part of their second attempt?

    It's only those who did not complete, if you've got a full degree already, you're pretty much screwed.

    Oh well, it was worth a thought I suppose; thanks for clarifying! :beer:
