    6 year course funding?
    I know some courses (such as vet med and med with a foundation year for those without sciences) are 6 years long.

    Would you be able to get the tuition fee loan and living cost loan for the length of these courses or not?

    *Bump* Please I'm just interested! Because if not that seems a little unfair, with people who can't afford it being unable to access the courses

    You can get funding for the length of your course + 1 year (for false starts etc.), so yes, they could get full funding.

    As the previous poster said, full funding for the duration of your course as per the formula: length of course + 1 year - previous study
