Cyclone Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 They couldn't in the late 90's when I went to uni as they are in full time education. The only time they could claim was between leaving school and starting the course at uni and they have to be looking for work for the summer.

discodown Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Only if you are between courses, if, for instance, you have finished 1st year and are going to start second year then you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You'd have to drop out and re-enroll in September/October. To be honest, the system is a joke, the Summer is so long a 3 year course could be fit into 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So apart from one exception, that won't apply to very many people, the above comments are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Buckingham University it does fit into two years - or did, when I knew anything about the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students who are parents can also claim income support, infact thats more likely because they usually won't be actively seeking permanent work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
