Dear Student Finance,
I studied BSc Optometry at University of Manchester. I took out the full maintenance and tuition fee loans for all 3 years of study.
I am going to study 5 year undergraduate Medicine as a second degree beginning September 2021 at Aston University.
Please can you let me know if I am eligible for any maintenance loans ? I understand for the 5th year I can get a loan to cover the full tuition costs.
Many thanks,
Romcom101

You should get maintenance loan you just won’t get tuition fees paid unless you get in a four year graduate entry medicine course

But that £9250 per year would have to be paid upfront, there's no tuition fee loan unlike graduate entry medicine.

Agreed, grads doing standard undergrad med will be eligible for a means-tested maintenance loan which for some students could just about cover the £9250 per year.

I don’t think they’d necessarily have to pay it upfront tbf; I pay my own tuition fees and they let me pay it in instalments.

You can pay it in instalments, but you have to clear the account before the year ends.

Yes I know that, when I said upfront I meant you have to pay it rather than SFE pays for you and you'll be owing them.

Thanks guys! At the moment I’m working full time so I don’t see how I’d qualify for the means tested maintenance loan ? However when I start the course I won’t be able to work properly? So I’m a bit confused! I have some savings but would need help at some point!

You might have to rely a bit on your savings and work part time. See if you can claim any bursaries too

I think you can get a minimum non means tested amount irrespective of your prior income. If you earn less than £25k a year you can get the full 9203 (assuming you live away from home and outside London)

Thank you so much! Do you have an idea what the minimum maintenance would be for living outside of London?

I just found out it’s 9k for outside London and they don’t take into account earnings just dividends etc
