Second Degree Funding

Hello Everyone,

I’ve tried to search for an answer online but have come across conflicting information.

I graduated from Dentistry last year. However I haven’t been enjoying the job as much as I thought I would and have been looking and researching alternate careers.

I’be found a career that I think would be perfect - computer science/software engineering.

I just wanted to ask what support if any student finance offers for second degrees in computer science. I read there are exception courses but don’t know if computer science is one of them and if so what would this entitle to?

Thanks!!

Hi there,

Where would you be looking to study the course and would this be at a part time level?

Thanks, Jason

Hi there,

If you are studying Part time then computing is an exception course. However, I would advise contacting us once you know the university (and course) you are looking to study so we can confirm your eligibility for this. Thanks, Jason

Thanks. I will do.

Just to clarify would it not be an exception course if studied full time?
