Exception course

Hi
I have a question
Is there a list of exception courses
My ultimate goal is to teach biology
But I’ve had funding before and didn’t complete my degree
I also had a look into Medical Sciences at the University of UCLAN and was wondering if that counts as an exception course?
I was wondering if there was anything similar?
Also do you get maintenance loans for a part time course?

Hi there,


Full Time
Below is a list of the Full Time courses exempt from Equivalent Level Qualification (ELQ) and Previous Study rules:
- Graduate Entry Medical Chiropody
- Dietetics
- Dietetics and Nutrition (Please note that these courses specifically have both dietetics and nutrition in the title. The individual course ‘nutrition’ is not a valid Allied Health Professional course)
- Occupational Therapy
- Operating Department Practice (Diplomas and Degrees)
- Orthoptics
- Physiotherapy
- Podiatry
- Prosthetics and Orthotics
- Radiography (diagnostic and therapeutic)
- Radiotherapy
- Speech and Language Therapy/ Dental courses

Part Time
If you already hold an Honours degree or a higher level (HE) qualification, you are able to apply for a Part Time Fee Loan for any one of the exception course below. For students who start a new course from 18/19 onwards, this will mean they can apply for the Part Time Maintenance Loan as well as tuition fees.
- Medicine and Dentistry
- Subjects to Allied Medicine
- Biological and Sport Science
- Psychology
- Veterinary Sciences
- Agriculture, Food and Related Sciences
- Physical Sciences
- General and Others in Sciences
- Mathematical Sciences
- Engineering and Technology
- Computing
- Geographical and Environmental Studies

Thanks, Isaac

If I don’t hold a degree would I not be able to do one of the biological science degrees full time or the allied medicine courses

Your previous study will affect eligibility for a full time biological science course but it won't affect it for a full time Allied Health Professional course.
Thanks, Isaac

Medical Science at UCLAN would that be a Allied healthcare Professional Course?

So if I have previous study and no degree I should be able to get full time funding for an allied health professional course?
