MSc physiotherapy - second masters requesting funding

Hello
20 years ago I self funded a BA Hons and an MBA. I changed my career three years ago and have now been accepted to study an MSc in physiotherapy at Bucks New University. Can I apply for any funding for the course fees and living expenses ie a maintenance loan? I have no idea how I will find otherwise but I 100% want to do this!
Thanks in advance

How do I do that? I applied on the government web site this morning and it replied immediately saying I am not eligible as I have a post grad qualification. I keep reading that as an allied professional qualification I would be able to receive funding for physiotherapy. Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for being super helpful Karen. I am doing the application via the under graduate section now. I have come as far as selecting the year of finance ie year one but now it says: The year you have selected is not available. Please confirm your course details with your university or college.?….

I have raised with the uni but I am confused as the portal accepted the uni and the course do not sure what else is needed.

Any ideas?

Thanks ever so again

This means your university has to update the database that we share with them to allow you to continue with your application. I would advise to speak with them and request this to be done. Once it has been updated you will be able to submit your application. Thanks, Karen
