I finished my degree in 2001 (BA Hons) and did an MA in 2004 (Both in creative writing). I now want to return to uni to posibly do a 3 year full-time BSc. The first time I went to uni I did not take out a student loan, or get into any debt (basically by working full time for most of my degree!!!) My parents had to pay my full tuition fees of �1,000 per year then, I started in 1998 when they were first introduced so I got a small bursary from my LEA in the first year to lessen the horror of suddenyl being charged �1,000!
Anyway, my question is, where do I stand in terms of financing my next course? I don't think I'd be classed as having a low income as I work full-time (although my partner is in several thousands of pounds of debt and only works part time, the irony) so I'd be due to pay the full �3,000 plus living costs.
So would I be able to get any of the loans? Would I be charged more because I have been to uni before?
I wish I'd done a nice easy degree like yours. I remember 24 hours of lectures, plus at least 30 hours work in my own time, every week. I can't quite see how it's possible to work full-time around that lot ;-)
