Student loans and bursaries
I appreciate rules differ between UK countries but is there an easy read guide or recommend a good youtube video somewhere that explains which years are student loan funded (fees and maintenance) and how the NHS Bursary works?
Just trying to work out where the gaps are and which years are short.
And what happens funding wise if intercalate?
This is for undergrad UK school leaver.
Thanks.

Hi there,
This is a good and short webpage explaining the NHS Bursary. It's a great scheme that provides students with much needed financial support. For medicine, years 1-4 are funded through student finance maintenance fees and tuition fees. After your 4th year, you will be eligible for the NHS bursary- this will cover your tuition fees for any years after 4th year (including your intercalated year if you so wish) as well as provide you with, at the very least, a non-means tested grant (meaning you don't have to pay it back). The majority of people who intercalate will find part time work, but this varies depending on the person and how much time they get whilst intercalating. I hope this helps!

Hi, I'm currently in my 3rd year of medicine, I was just wondering what happened in terms of maintenance and tuition loans from Student Finance during intercalation if I choose to intercalate for a Masters between my 3rd and 4th years of study? My understanding is I can get post-grad funding from student finance for this, but no maintenance loans. Then for my 5th and 6th years of study after intercalation, everything goes through NHS bursary, tuition and maintenance? I was wondering if intercalating with a Masters would change any funding I would have gotten in my final 2 years of studying medicine?
Hi, I got a notification because this is an old thread of mine, but to be honest I think you might have better luck if you posted in the current med students and doctors sub forum. They are more likely to be better placed to help than in the general, "applying to medicine" discussion.
Just checked and MedicMind haven't been active on TSR since Feb either.
Hope you find the definitive answer.
