Hi there,

If the qualification you obtained whilst studying abroad is deemed to be equivalent to a UK degree course you will be ineligible for funding from Student Finance England. Eligibility for funding, including previous study, is assessed in line with The Education (Student Loans) (Repayment) Regulations. Please find below a link to the current regulations outlining the required information

Legislation.gov.uk

If you have been refused funding due to previous qualifications gained outside the UK and believe that the qualification gained is not an equivalent qualification (ELQ), you can contact UK NARIC and request a certificate stating the qualification you have gained. You will be asked to provide evidence this evidence to support your application.

Thanks
