Hi, I have been offered a place but on the part time course as I don't have enough clinical/patient experience. Any ideas about how to fund it?? The part time course is not eligible for professional career dev loans... but the full time course is. How is everyone else funding it ? And is anyone accepted onto the part time one?

Hi

Been accepted on the full time course which I am self-funding including accommodation. I think the professional career development loan covers courses lasting 1 to 2 years :/ I am not even eligible for the new postgraduate loan scheme as I already have a masters! I don't think there are other sources of funding available :/

Hi,

How are you planning to fund the course and living costs then?

I know what you mean I wouldn't really be able to afford them but I applied anyway just in case I didn't find anything. It's a room in a house but there's only 4 of us so not too bad. I used AFS Worcester, plus studentpad, I can message you the password the uni gave me for it also if you want any contact details of landlords I now know who still have rooms going I can forward you their details too :smile:

Also in my search I found the studios to be a bomb of a lot more than rooms plus mostly on the other side of the river 🙈*

I still haven't heard anything back from the Accommodation Team. I did question this and I was told that rooms are being allocated and we will find out around Mid-July so hopefully by next week presumably. Worcester studentpad is good! For the on-campus accommodation I don't think it is necessary to select postgraduate, I have kept my preferences opened and chose 1 cheaper one.
