Tuition Fee loan for EU Student if already has Master Degree

Hi,

I`ve got my Master Degree from my country (EU), but really would like to re-qualify, Am I not entitled to any Financial Support in UK? I completed 5 yrs, full time uni, but know want to become a Clinical Psychologist - it`s hard to do it without uni. Any advise? Maybe you can recommend me any websides with scholarships/loans for students?

Tuition fee loans from student finance are only for those without a degree, regardless of where it was obtained from. The only exceptions are the PGCE and health courses like nursing. Psychology wouldn't be covered.

many thanks for help. What would you advise person like, me? Keep on searching founds (knowing that I can barely maintain myself right now so can`t afford any uni) or just give up on it in UK and maybe try with another country?
To become a clinical Psychologist in the UK, you need to complete a clinical psychology doctorate. That is funded (at least for UK students, you'd have to check where EU students stand). However you will need to complete a psychology degree or a postgraduate conversion course.

The conversion course would be the best bet. It isn't funded, but it is only a year long. There may be loans available for it. For example I know for certain Northumbria offer loans to cover tuition fees.
