Hi there. Just to confirm you haven't already gained a qualification? How many years have you studied previously and how many years will the new course be? Thanks, Leah.

Hi,
I have already studied mental health nursing some years ago which I received full sfe funding for but did not pass the course in the final year due to ill health.. however I wish to do a social work degree and was wondering if I would be eligible for student finance for this? Thanks

Hi there,

If you decide to study Social Work full-time then you'll be entitled to the Maintenance Loan only.

However, Social Work courses are exceptions when studied part-time. So, if you decide to do this part-time you should be entitled to a Tuition Fee Loan for the duration.

So long as this course isn't distance learning you should also be entitled to the Maintenance Loan too.

Thanks, Graeme

Hi Leah,

I gained a level 5 qualification for the 2 completed years but not a level 6 degree.

I studied for 2 and a half years basically and the new course will be 3 years

Thanks

Hi there. Since you don't already hold a level 6 qualification, if you studied the Social work part-time you would be entitled to Maintenance Loan and Tuition Fee. If this is a distance learning course, this would be Tuition Fee only. We don't take full-time previous study into account for part-time courses.

If you study the Social Work full-time, we use this calculation:

New course length + Additional Year – Previous study years

For example, your new course is 3 years long, your calculation would be:

3 + 1 – 3 = 1 years entitlement

This means the 1 year of funding would be added to the final year of the new course, but the Tuition Fee would be blocked for Year 1 and 2. However, you would still be entitled to a Maintenance Loan (if eligible) for all years.

Thanks, Leah.
