Studying and funding for a second degree?

I have applied to do Horticulture and garden Design at Duchy part-time as I believe it is an exception subject and will allow me to get full funding.
I have asked for the UCAS code to check this, but as I applied directly to the University I did not find a UCAS course code.
I have called SFE but they seem very vague and cannot tell me if I will get full funding or not. As part time applications open in the summer I cannot put an application in to find out either. I would like to plan ahead and study some design courses but if need to know if I can get funding first.

Good Morning Imogen,

Can you confirm the college/campus? Is the above course the full course title?

Warm Regards,

Shaun.

The course is part time as I believe all exception courses are. Although, there is a full time option.

I've managed to check from the above details provided. There is the above course showing at Cornwall College and is an exception so funding would be available.

Warm Regards,

Shaun.

Thank you Shaun

I went to The Eden Project today for an open day and asked about funding for a second, part time degree in Horticulture as an exception course.
I was told that the Hecos codes are applied to each module and not the course as a whole. As a result, the Garden and Landscape Design part of the Horticulture BSc won't allow me to gain funding as a part time exception course.
I also asked about the Horticulture BSc without the design element and they said one of the modules doesn't meet the Hecos code requirement.

Can you check this please?
If funding were available for the whole course under Horticulture, this would encourage students to apply to do a second degree and also help the Eden Project to gain funding after suffering huge losses during lockdown.
Eden is an incredible project that does very interesting research in to sustainability and ways to reduce global warming.
Surely SFE and our government should support their work.

Many thanks

Dear Shaun

I have just applied for funding for the above course as a part time second degree (Hons) equal to my previous study. But have been turned down for both fee and maintenance loans when I complete the previous study section.

Hi Imogen, you will need to wait until our assessors manually review your application.
Thanks, Isaac

The system deleted my application as soon as I had to add my previous education though.
