    Any information for Graduates doing the 4 year course from 2012?
    I think you have to pay the first £3375 (or so) yourself, and then you get a tuition fee loan from the SLC for the remaining £5625.

    Not sure about the Maintenance Loan / Grant situation

    How much do the NHS pay for years 2 - 4 as they used to fully fund but I don't know if this is the same still since the fees increase?

    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.

    No, I didn't include £9000 tuition for the final year - I allowed for the NHS bursary, I presume they still only pay tuition for the final year if you studied for 6 years?
    Hey could I ask if you know when students apply for the NHS bursary?
    Thanks

    On another page it said that NHS payed your fees years 5+6 fully regardless. The bursary is then available on top of that.

    Edit: "In addition to the bursary support, DH also funds their tuition costs from the fifth year."
