Confused by the Open University and Student Finance?

Question

Hello there, I am currently applying to do the BA Hons in Language Studies (which starts Feb' 2nd). It is my first time at university and I am so confused with the Open University and student finance... I rang the Open University up and now i'm more confused?

I have some questions:

- do i pay every time i do a new module? - so apply to student finance every time?!?!?

- my first module on stage 1 is of 60-credits but then there's also one compulsory 30-credit French module at this stage.....so do i do them in the same year?
^^ I've been told to only do the 60-credit one as its my first time?

-So will i do the French next year or in this year?

- I'm just unsure of how much money to but in the student finance Tuition Fees box? Will i need only the £2,500 for this year (1x60credit) or £4000 for the 60-credit and the 30-credit?

Answer 1

answers:



- yes, you apply for finance each time you apply for a new module.

- 60 credits is a LOT of studying, so might want to only do 60 in your first year (unless you have lots of free time)

- you only apply for the fees for the module your applying for, not for ALL modules. The money is released by different departments for different modules you see.



hope this helps

You continue to must have utilized for the elemental maintenance loan which you might be nonetheless entitled to with the bursary as good. My daughter still had the elemental loan as well as the bursary. But the bursary and loan were not certainly paid unless the term began and so they had proof that you just had been attending your direction. How in the world do you consider you'll manipulate to survive that amount. The bursary by myself may not be sufficient to quilt your living charges and have some enjoyable. All of the banks offer scholar debts and it is ordinary to have one with the excellent optional additional of the easier overdraft and growing overdraft over the be taught time. You will have debt when you qualify like several other students and your debt will appear very scary at the end but they're going to assist you to build overdrafts after which transfer you onto a graduate account in a while considering that of your earning potential. Appear in any respect of them and not just the Halifax. It has nothing to do about being in a multitude whilst you graduate it is readily to exist. You look to have been badly informed about financing a medication path and also you have got to get yourself some serious recommendation and when you mother and father instances have changed given that you utilized for the bursary follow again.

Hi



Yes, you will study French for 30 points when you are ready. That could be in 2014 or it could be in its next presentation which may be October 2013.



Really you need to consider how much time you have to study and if you are not working you could perhaps do 90 points and do French with AA100 but it will be hard work,, particularly if assignments come at the same time, so AA100 by itself if a good idea to start with.
