    I did one year of a level 7 course and didn't return due to health reasons. I have got nursing but I have to pay €7606 fees, why is this and is there anything I can do .

    Please any information just to get me through the weekend so I can ring them.. So upset.

    Is your new course a level 7 or level 8?

    Hmm. I would have though you would have been eligible for free fees but a quick search on boards suggests you may be in trouble as you didn't complete the level 7.

    If you did one year of a level 7,you prob have to pay the 1st year of your level 8 degree,and then in 2nd year you will go back onto the free fees scheme again. If you had to leave for medical reasons, worth a go,you never know.go gp and get letter and send it into the education dept/college

    It's to stop people starting and stopping courses which costs the tax payer and takes places which would otherwise went to other students. It's a very fair system

    Yes I understand completely it is fair I will try and see.
