SFE tuition fee loan for second degree

o_g1994

Hi Sfe, I have previously graduated with Bachelors degree in accounting and I have applied full tuition fee and maintenance loan during that time.

I have been planning to do a second degree in few years time in Bsc in Dental Hygiene and Therapy from Portsmouth university (full-time, 3 year course).

Am I eligible for any loan (esp. tuition fee loan), since it is my first time doing a science related degree?

Thank you for taking time to read my question.

Hi, Dental Hygiene and Therapy is an exception course so you should be funded for this in the current 20/21 academic year.
Thanks, Isaac

Hi there,So just to clarify if I study Medicine/Dentistry as a 2nd complete degree after a BSc undergrad I would still be eligible for the complete tuition fee loan and part-time maintenance loans?

Depending on the course and depending on if it's a distance learning course, yes.
Thanks, Isaac
