Hi all so I know Graduate Entry Medicine courses are exceptions:
so, youcan still receive full funding even if you already have aqualification.
It works like this:
Tuition Fee Support
Year 1 – The student will have toself fund the first £3465, however a tuition fee loan will beavailable for the remainder up to £5,785. If the studentwishes to borrow a tuition fee loan, please advise them toindicate amount of loan they wish to borrow in the LoanRequest Form.
Year 2-4 - The first £3,715 will be paid bythe Department of Health and a tuition fee loan will beavailable for the remainder of up to £5,535.
MaintenanceSupport
Year 1 – The student can apply for a Full MeansTested Maintenance Loan and Supplementary Grants.
Year 2-4 – The student is eligible to apply for the IncomeAssessed NHS Bursary and Supplementary Grantsfrom the NHS. They can only apply to Student FinanceEngland for a reduced rate Maintenance Loan.
But I heard the maximum you can get for maintenance is £5700 (which also gets reduced in the later years as reduced rate maintenance loan)? If that’s the case then how are people on the accelerated course expected to live? Rent alone will exhaust the maintenance loan! Is this correct or am I calculating wrong for student finance wales?
