Funding medicine as a second degree?

Is there any funding for medicine as a second degree?

I have a first class BSc in physics and I'm applying to GEM this year, although my UKCAT isn't the best as one section has dragged down my average. I have AABB at A level, and I think entry requirements for undergrad are at least AAA? I could sit another A level if that is acceptable, but I would like to know if there is any funding for medicine as a second degree, as I don't have £45,000 to pay upfront over the 5 years.

Thanks for any help

You will get funding for all but around £3465 on a GEM course. Applying to the 5 year courses will mean that your first four years tuition fees would be unfunded and you would need £36K. Only a few 5 year courses require you to have AAA, most have separate requirements for grads. But yeah, you will need to pay.

Essentially, unless you have some 'private' money to plug the gaps, its probably a non-starter.
