Second Degree Tuition Loan

Hello, I already have a student loan (tuition & maintenance) for a Psychology degree I completed from 2010-2013. I would now like to apply for Dental Hygiene degree but would like to know if I am eligible for any help? One of the other clinicians I work with also did a previous degree, but as it was only three years long was entitled to another two years of funding from student loans? Is this true? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Amie, is this dental hygiene & therapy, graduate entry dentistry or undergraduate dentistry?

Can you confirm the exact course name and university name please.
Thanks, Isaac

Hello, it is for Hygiene BSc at Eastman UCL - it is undergraduate course

Sorry for the late reply!

I have also applied for Oral Health at Queen Marys, Oral health at Essex and Hygiene Therapy at Kings

Hi, what university is this? University College London?


The "BSc Oral Health (Dental Hygiene/Therapy)" at Queen Mary University of London is an exception course, you can be funded for this.

Thanks, Isaac

Hi Issac, yes the Eastman is now in collaboration with London South Bank uni

Ok my friend is already on the queen marys course and is having to fund it herself as she already has a previous degree also?

How about essex or kings?

Thanks,
Amie

Dental Hygiene/Therapy is an exception course.

When you say Essex/Kings - please provide the full exact university name and course name.
Thanks, Isaac

Eastman is BSc Dental Hygiene
Kings is BSc Dental Hygiene & therapy
Essex is diploma in oral health

Hi Isaac,

It is not with London south bank university it is with University College London and Eastman dental hospital - it is in collaboration with London South Bank University. This course used to be funded by the NHS but now they are not & I have been told that you can now apply for student finance for it.

Please see the attached.

Thanks.
Amie

There is no undergraduate course with the name "Dental Hygiene" at the University College London. You will not be entitled to funding as the course must be on the database to be eligible.
There is a masters course with this name.
Thanks, Isaac

They only recruit every 2/3 years - I will contact them directly and ask thanks

Hi Issac, the course that I was telling you about is now live on UCAS - B751 BSc dental hygiene, London south bank uni - is it now eligible for student finance?
