Funding 2nd Degree Bsc Physio
Hi all, any help much appreciated.
Got a BA degree over 10 years ago so this would be my 2nd degree due to a career change to physiotherapy. Utterly confused by funding despite reading the information available online.
I'll be 38 on starting. Its a full time course, so I'm wondering how to live whilst studying, I am more than happy to work as much as possible.
Self employed, but earning under £12k.
No savings
No other household income (single) & no kids.
Currently having treatment for breast cancer so on Universal credit (hopefully this wont be the case next year!) and working a few hours each week at the moment.
If anyone can shed some light on what I would be entitled to that would be great please or just make things a little clearer. Thank you.

I believe that physiotherapy like many healthcare degrees is an exception to the no funding for a second degree thing. I believe you’re eligible to have a student loan and apply for a maintenance loan as well as possibly being able to apply for the NHS learning fund but I’m less sure on that one.

Good luck with your journey. I’m super excited to start my course in September so I hope it all goes well for you!
