Exception courses - funding for second course

I am aware of potential tuition fee loans for second degrees. I am not sure if I would qualify. I have an undergraduate degree in Law and a Masters in Criminology.

Would I be able to get a part time tuition fee loan to study BSc Psychology with the Open University?

Thanks

Hi, you will be eligible as long as you meet the residency criteria. Psychology is a part time exception course.
Thanks, Isaac

Hi Isaac, thanks so much. Someone else from SFE have just told me I wouldn't qualify because I have a masters degree. Is this correct?

That is not correct.

Our internal guidance states:
A student who holds a postgraduate qualification regardless of the level (Masters, PGCE, PGDip, PGCert) would still be able to access part time funding if studying a part time Honours Degree, Joint Honours Degree or Integrated Masters Degree in one of the exception subject areas.
