doing a second degree in Psychology

I am interested in doing a 2nd degree in Psychology. Would I be able to get funding for this? I would be studying part time alongside work.
The current guidance on gov.uk says
'You may also get limited funding if you hold an Honours degree or a higher level of qualification and start a new course. This could be a part-time Honours degree, a joint Honours degree or an Integrated Master’s degree in one of the following (or 2 if it’s a joint Honours degree):

agriculture and related subjects
architecture (if it’s a MArch RIBA Part 2 course)
biological sciences
computer science
mathematical sciences
medicine and allied subjects
physical sciences
technologies
courses leading to qualification as a veterinary surgeon'

Could you please clarify?
I have a BA and an MA in Social Policy.
Ideally, I would do a part time conversion so masters level qualification but I don't think there is any way of getting this funded - I can't see any exemptions for Masters? Could you confirm this?
And whether doing a BSc would be an option?
Thanks

Hi there,

It would need to be at an undergraduate level to be eligible for one of the exception courses. Thanks, Jason
