Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Funding for 2nd course

I’m an EU student and have been settled in the UK for 20 years (since a child).

I did an undergraduate course for which I received full funding including the extra year, so 4 years total. I’m doing a masters this year, for which I also get a loan.

If in the 2020/2021 academic year I were to do either:

a) an undergraduate nursing course (3 years)
or
b) graduate entry medicine (either 4 or 5 years)

Would I be able to get funding? Would it include maintenance loans, or just tuition fees?

Also am I at a disadvantage because I’m an EU student, i.e. if I were to become a British citizen would I be entitled to student finance (related to the courses I mentioned) that I am currently not?

Thanks

Hi there,

We wouldn't be able to confirm 20/21 funding yet.

We can confirm that if you were studying the two course in 18/19 you would receive funding, here is what you would receive -

Undergraduate Nursing - Full funding for all three years (Fee and Maintenance Loans/Dependent Grants)

Graduate Entry Medicine -

Fee Support -

Year 1 - You would need to self fund the first £3465, SFE can provide a tuition fee loan of £5785.
Year 2 to 4 - First £3715 is funded by the Department of Health, a fee loan available from SFE for £5535

Maintenance Support -
Year 1 - Can apply for full Maintenance Loan and Dependents Grants from SFE.
Year 2 to 4 - Apply for income assessed NHS bursary, SFE provide a reduced rate Maintenance Loan.

This may change by the time 20/21 academic year comes!

Regards
Grant
