    No, you're not required to repay any fees. But if you decide to do another course at the same level you will be required to pay full tuition fees as well as the student contribution fee/levy, and you won't be entitled to any grant. The only way to avoid this is to wait 5 years before returning as a second chance student. - A ‘second chance student’ is someone who is aged over 23, did not successfully complete an earlier course and is returning to pursue an approved course after at least 5 years.

    Dropping out in 4th year is not a decision to be made lightly. Perhaps talk to your course advisor, Counsellors/Chaplain, Career guidance service.... be very sure that you're making the right decision for you.
