19+ advanced learner loan

Hi,

I want to commence a second degree this September or next. Do you have more information on 19+ advanced learner loan?

Who is eligible?
How much can you apply for?

Thank,

Laura :-)

I'm afraid you'd be caught out by the ELQ (equivalent or lower qualification) rules, which mean that you can't get funding for a second degree. In addition, the 19+ advanced learning loans are only available to those studying Level 3/4 courses i.e. A Levels or HNC. A bachelors degree is Level 6.

The only way you're going to get funding is if you're studying for an NHS course like nursing, certainly this September, but AFAIK next September onwards is still up in the air because of changes to NHS bursaries.
