Pre-registration Postgraduate Funding

Hi I'm sure this will have been asked hundreds of times but here goes. I have applied and been accepted onto a Postgraduate (masters) course on a pre-registration paramedic course. Looking at the gov website it seems I am eligible to apply got funding for my masters degree, however there is a small sentence towards the bottom of the page that states anyone applying for a pre-registration masters course in an allied health profession is not eligible after 2018. I have been told by SfE that I am eligible but have been told this previously when applying for a BSc in Paramedicine before being turned down due to it being a second degree. So my question really is would I be eligible for the funding, or has anyone got any experience of being rejected for the funding for an MSc pre reg course before? Thanks

Hi Paul,
Can you please tell us the full name of this course and the university?
Thanks, Graeme

MSc Paramedic Science (Pre-registration) at York St John University

Hi Paul,
When does your course start and how long is the course? Is the course full time or part time?
Thanks,
Claire

September start, full time, 2 years

Thanks. Will you be in receipt of funding from the Ambulance Service Trust? Thanks, Jason

I'm not sure, I believe there's the NHS learning support fund? Unsure on eligibility

Paramedic Science courses are only classed as an exception if the student is entitled to funding from the Ambulance Service Trust. If they are not eligible for support from the Ambulance Service Trust they can apply to us for full support, but this will be subject to ELQ rules.
Checking the course on the system it only shows course for 3 years not 2?
Thanks,
Claire
