Hi Student Finance,

I was wondering if BioScience BSc (part time, 6 years) at Birkbeck University is on the funding list?

Thanks.

Hi,

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, Amy

Hi there,

I'm not able to see this course on our database at the moment, do you have the course code?

Also, do you know if Birkbeck are accredited by another university or college?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi,

I think the course code is C900, but that's for full time. For some reason on the 6 year part time version no course code appears on the web page.

Birkbeck is part of University of London if that helps.

This keeps happening with courses I enquire about. They are STEM and part time but SF cant find them on their system. If I got accepted and the course does qualify but isnt on the system, can it be added so I can get funding?

Thanks.

Hi there,

We do not have a 6 year course listed, we only have a 3 year course listed for part-time. We have the following course listed:

Funding Level: Undergraduate
Study Mode: Part-time
Course name: Biomedicine
Qualification: Bachelor Degree with Honours
Duration: 3 Years full-time equivalent duration

Do you know if they have uploaded all available courses to the shared database?

Thanks, Amy

Hi,

I don't know if they have updated all courses.

But, if that is 3 year full time equivalent would that not mean that it is a part time 4 year or 6 year course?

In other words it is on the funding list?

Thanks.

Hope this helps.
