Confused about time limit

[markwgl]

Hi there. I'm gonna extend my visa in the next two months so I've been reading the rules and documents,etc and I come across this time limit of person who can stay in UK with tier 4 visa.
I came here on 2012 to study A-levels which is below bachelor degrees and has length of two years. now I have an offer from a university for a business degree.However length of course if 4 years because it has 1 year in industry. I also intend to continue with my studies for masters and PhD.Does this mean I won't be able to do my postgraduate studies in the UK ? Please someone help,I read the article a few times and it is still unclear to me whether it applies or not

I said in my first post that I've read the articles but it is still unclear to me. I've already studied two years(below bachelor's degree) and will study 4 years of bachelor degree.Will this mean I will not be able to do master and PhD ? I read the article thousand times but it is just unclear for me

There are some exceptions to the 5-year cap:

if you have successfully completed a UK degree course which was at least four years long, and you are making a Tier 4 application to study a Master's degree at a higher education institution (recognised body or institution in receipt of public funding), the limit is six years.

Did you read this part?

if your Tier 4 application is to study a PhD (or one of the postgraduate research qualifications listed in Annex 6 of the Home Office's Tier 4 Policy Guidance [^]) at a higher education institution, there is no limit while you are studying the PhD.

And this part?
