Edge Hill Paramedic Practice 2019

Hi! I am also looking at starting the DipHE starting in Feb next year. Is this your second degree or first? It would be my second, and I have been told I wouldn't get any student finance as i already have a BSC. Yet all other allied health professionals are eligible for a second student loan. Just wondering if that's the reason they have said they will only fund the BSc course not the DipHE?

We seem to be in a similar position!

I don't have a degree but I do have a level 5 qualification (not even a Diphe or foundation degree) so Sfe said I'm not able to get funding for an equivalent qualification (which it isn't because it's only worth 120 credits!) that was studies part time. They will fund a full bsc because my other study is below level 6 and it was part time so not used any of my full time student finance allowance (if that makes sense?).

How are you planning to fund it? I can't afford £9250 per year for 2 years!

I think it is massively unfair that Paramedic courses are not treated the same as other health care qualifications. There's no funding from ambulance services now so should be treated exactly the same! So infuriating. There's already a shortage of paramedics so it's only going to get worse!

Have you spoken to Edge Hill about this?

I'm still waiting to hear back from UCLAN admissions (they have said that I meet the entry requirements though so that's positive!).

Hiya guys.

How did it all go.
I am thinking on applying for the course at EdghilI, have to pay my first year so, that will be fun.
But it will be worth it in the end.
