Funding for 2nd Undergraduate Degree

I could really use some help please.

This is my second time applying to Dental Hygiene and Therapy, unfortunately, last year I was unsuccessful.


I have a previous BA Hons degree and was advised by student finance that I am eligible for full funding as Dental Hygiene and Therapy is an exception course. I rang and confirmed this when reapplying for the 2023 submission.

I have recently been advised by some other applicants that this is no longer the case and I may now not be eligible for funding.

I have spent days trying to contact SFE but have not been able to get through.

Please could I have some clarity?

Thank you

Post in the Ask SFE forum and ask if it is an exception course (it will be answered by an official SFE/SLC rep):
