Ideas To Raise Money To Pay For Tuition Fees

No offence, but if you really want to be a doctor this badly, shouldn't you have put a bit more effort into this? I knew all this information when I was in Year 12...

It's a joke thread :wink:

So I'm applying for medicine and I've already on an undergraduate degree.
Obviously tuition fees are £9000 and paying that for three/four years might be slightly difficult. Hence I wanted to play a game and see who could come up with the most unrealistic idea.

Become a high end escort and charge £9000 a night :colondollar:

Bit late now but you could have hung around the old chem building, developed mesothelioma then sued QMUL and paid for med school with the proceeds :wink:

Slim chances of you being around long enough to complete the course though. :p:

Just to let you know:

With regards to the NHS Bursaries:

2) Funding for graduates on accelerated courses in academic years 2011/12 and 2012/13.

If you are a graduate medical student on an accelerated (four year) course in the academic year 2011/12, you are eligible to apply to Student Finance England for a full maintenance loan in your first year. You will also be expected to self-fund your tuition costs.

In the next four years of your course, you can apply to the NHS Student Bursaries Unit for a means-tested NHS bursary to cover maintenance costs. Tuition fees are also paid by the NHS Bursary Scheme for this period and students can apply for a reduced maintenance loan from Student Finance England.

If you are starting your course in the academic year 2012/13, you will have to self fund the first £3,375 of your tuition fees in the first year. In later years, the NHS Bursary scheme will pay £3,375 towards your tuition. Throughout the course, a Student Loan Company loan will be available to cover the difference between £3,375 and the tuition charges of their universities, to a maximum charge of £9,000.

I assume you are going to do post-graduate medicine? NHS funding hasn't yet been finalised for the 2013/14 intake, but if it's anything like it is now then I guess: you will have to pay your first year tuition fees yourself, but get a maintenance loan from the Student Loans Company. For subsequent years, the NHS will pay some of your tuition fees and the Student Loans Company will pay the rest. You'll also get a bursary off the NHS for maintenance.

No offence, but if you really want to be a doctor this badly, shouldn't you have put a bit more effort into this? I knew all this information when I was in Year 12...

Thanks for the condescending tone but if you read my initial post then you'd see I'm applying for four and five year medicine. Five year medicine has very different funding rules to four year for graduates. I will only get the NHS bursary for my fifth year and the maintenance loan will not cover tuition fees for the other four years. I've done my research BUT THANKS :biggrin:

Haha, that would have been mint. Plus I would have been the real life case study in med school that everyone prods and pokes. Could charge for examinations!
Also have you heard about the new graduate centre that is going in place of the Chemistry building?

Your initial post says nothing of the sort... It says you are currently an undergraduate and are applying for medicine.

Sorry, I guess it was unnecessarily condescending and I probably shouldn't have lumped you in with the dozens of others who ask questions like this because they've done no research - but I don't think assuming a graduate wanting to do medicine would go for graduate medicine is too far of a stretch of the imagination!
