You won't be able to join a graduate scheme without a completed degree - the majority of schemes will ask for a high-standard undergraduate qualification as a minimum requirement. Employers shouldn't view your decision negatively though, providing you can explain how your decision is a positive step towards achieving your goals. You'll lose your entitlement to tuition fee and maintenance loan payments with immediate effect when you leave your course.
You'll be required to pay the tuition fees for all, or part, of the year you're in. Student Finance will assess your financial situation and send you details of the loan amounts available to you and those you'll have to pay back. How much you'll be charged will depend on when in the academic year you've decided to leave.
Even if you decide to leave halfway through a term, you'll be responsible for the entirety of its fees. As well as your tuition fees, you'll be expected to cover your maintenance loans, including your accommodation fees.
When you moved into student accommodation, you'll likely have signed a contract for either 40 or 52 weeks. This will need to be honoured in full and you'll have to repay any loans you took out to cover these costs. You can only be released from this contract by finding another student to fill your room and take over the payments.
If you decide to return to university at a later date, you'll still be able to apply for student funding. However, your previous funding history will be taken into account and deducted from what you're entitled to in the future.
Also, if you withdrew from a course halfway through the year, Student Finance counts this as a full year of funding. It's possible to transfer onto a different course at the same university, as long as there's enough space for you on the new programme and the transfer is agreed between the departments.
When speaking to your new department, you'll have to provide reasons for wanting to move courses and show you're taking your studies seriously. To transfer, you'll need to fill in and submit an internal transfer form, which you can request from your current department. This will be approved once it's been confirmed that you meet the entry requirements for your new course. Switching courses at university can have financial implications for various reasons - for example, if you're transferring onto a longer or shorter course.
Contact Student Finance as soon as you've made your decision to find out your new loan entitlements. Changing modules on the same course is a much simpler process. Request a 'change of module' form from your department, and you'll be transferred over if there's space on the new modules and they don't clash with your existing timetable.
Bear in mind that you won't be able to drop any compulsory modules and individual universities will set their own cut-off dates for module changes, typically in the first few weeks of term. Changing from single to joint honours is more complicated. You may be asked to submit another personal statement, attend an interview with your prospective department, or even leave the institution and reapply through UCAS for the next joint honours intake the following year. If you're unhappy with your institution, you may be able to transfer to another.
You'll still need to do your research and meet the entry requirements of the university you'd like to move to.
Your previous credits might be taken into account if you're hoping to join a new university for the second year onwards. Alternatively, you might be required to start afresh in the first year at your new university. For a definitive answer on whether you can transfer, contact the admissions officer at your new university. Be prepared for the possibility of having to reapply through UCAS to restart your course, and the financial implications of this.
As part of your application, the university might request information about your current course and modules, a transcript of your studies and an academic reference. If you have a good reason - you're feeling stressed , unhappy or are in financial trouble - you'll likely be granted permission to take some time out from your studies.
This can be anywhere from a term to two years, depending on your circumstances and the institution. To get started, arrange to meet with your personal tutor to discuss the situation. You'll need the go-ahead from them to leave - don't just stop attending lectures and seminars, as this will impact on you negatively when you return.
