Changing courses

studentfor_life

Hi I have a quick question. This is my first year at University and I am studying Zoology. However I am not really enjoying the course. I am thinking of changing courses this September to Astrophysics but I did not do Physics at A-Level.

I know if you swap courses you get full course length plus one, if I was to switch to Astrophysics I would need to do a foundation degree would I still be entitled to help for this course?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean a Foundation Degree or a foundation year?

f301 Physics with foundation studies is the course name. The discription also states: 'After successfully completing a foundation year students can go on to join the first year of any of the School's BSc or MPhys degree courses.'

When doing a student finance calculator it comes up as a four year course. So I think(hope) its part of the degree.
