Payed £2,400 at University tuition fees, but did not need to, can I claim it back?

I enrolled at East London University for 2 years. Did not like the course and decided to drop out and opted to go to Thames Valley University, which I have stuck out and on my final semester.
Both of the two years at my previous Uni I paid £1,200 annually so £2,400 in total for tuition fees for the 2 years. I never knew that because my mother and father at the time was making less than a certain amount, I was entitled to the tuition for free. Took this advice and got my tuition paid for at my new university but thats £2,400 that I could do with right now.
Can I rightfully claim it, or some of it back?
Im I entitled to it now seeing as I did not know this info at the time?
Where could I start?
Any help much appreciated.

don't thinks so I'm afraid. Its like trying to claim a student loan in 5 years time when you've finished your course.0

Couold I ask how you didn't know? This information is well publicised!
I agree with Blacksheep, you are very unlikely to be able to claim in restrospect.Gone ... or have I?0 -
I dont know. Its a matter of like 'how stupid' but oh well. Im glad they paid for my 3 years here I guess even though my parents had wage increases.Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives

I think you're lucky they paid for all of your other degree as normally if you have done more than one year (started a second year) of a course before you are not able to claim anything over the standard package ie you won't get all your fees paid for just the standard amount and normal loan0
