Second degree - NHS funded course

Hi everyone,

I've been considering applying for BSc Diagnostic Radiography/Medical Imaging programme after I graduate from my current degree programme, which is BSc Maths.

The Diagnostic Radiography degree will be NHS funded, so I won't have to pay tuition fees, but I'm a little concerned about maintenance loans etc. I will have used up my 4 years of student finance once I finish my current degree, but I think I remember reading somewhere that students on NHS funded degrees are eligible for an extra few years of loans/grants from student finance to fund their 2nd degree. I was wondering if somebody could clarify whether or not this is correct.

Thank you very much :smile:

Basically yes however as an NHS student you couldn't get maintenance grants or means tested loan- you get the minimum reduced rate of around £2k plus NHS bursaries (amount dependent on household income).
Aah, okay. Thanks for your help :smile:
