Graduate entry medicine maintenance loan

Does anyone know if you are entitled to maintenance loan for graduate entry medicine? Is there a lower amount? Is it for every year of the graduate course or just a few years? I believe you are entitled to tuition fees paid by the student finance for the course, but not sure about maintenance loan.

Hi there,

I have provided the entitlement for graduate entry medicine courses.

Tuition Fee Loan

Year 1 – The student will have to self fund the first £3,465, however a tuition fee loan will be available for the remainder of up to £5,785.

Years 2-4 - The first £3,715 will be paid by the Department of Health and a tuition fee loan will be available for the remainder of up to £5,535.

Maintenance Funding
Year 1 – The student can apply for a Full Means Tested Maintenance Loan and Supplementary Grants, They are not eligible for a Maintenance Grant.

Years 2-4 – The student can apply for the Income Assessed NHS Bursary and Supplementary Grants from the NHS. They can only apply to SFE for a Reduced Rate Maintenance Loan.

Thanks, Clare
