Am I entitled to second degree loan?

Hello!

So I’m studying my masters in public health and have a postgrad loan. However since studying, and working at the NHS for experience I’ve realised I want to work in a clinical setting.

I already have a degree, and now studying the masters but am considering applying for a course in ODP instead.

Am I entitled to another loan? Student finance only pay on attendance so if I was to finish my part time course in September next year and get the pgdip I wouldn’t use all of the masters loan and this could be returned to student finance.

Hi, please can you confirm your current and your new course details including the university name?

Hi,

It’s the masters in public health at city uni (current)... and ODP at Christchurch university in Canterbury BSC, new course.

Is it true that paramedical science isn’t on the exemptions list?

Yes, it's correct that paramedicine is not an exception course unless you receive funding from the Ambulance Server Trust.
