Usually you would be eligible for nothing for a 2nd degree. However, medicine is one of the exceptions to the rule.

I believe you will receive a maintenance loan, and the NHS covers some of the tuition fees. I cannot say 100% what is paid and in which years. But you will be eligible for some funding for studying medicine as a 2nd degree.

Just found this site - http://www.money4medstudents.org/england - it says you'll have to fund tuition fee's yourself for the first 4 years. You will receive a maintenance loan though.

In your final year NHS covers the cost of tuition & an NHS bursary.

Look at scholarships with the university :smile:
