Bonus year funding

I have a question in regards to funding for the bonus year.
I previously received funding for undergraduate law degree which was for all 3 years.
I then took on another undergraduate degree which I also received funding for as it was an exception degree - adult nursing and I completed 1 year of that nursing degree and then did not return to year 2.
I now would like to pursue a career as a midwife and I understand midwifery degree is also an exception degree and second funding can be received.
The issue is that I already had funding for year 1 in my nursing degree so I am not 100% if I will be able to get full funding, both maintenance and tuition loans for 3 years of midwifery degree given my circumstances ?
I understand that the one year for nursing degree would be classed as the 'bonus year' ? Would that be case ?.
Also does any tuition loans for part-time study which I received in the past affect my entitlement (I received tuition-fee funding for 2 years many years ago).
Can anybody confirm this for me please

Hi there,

New students studying Nursing, Midwifery, Allied Health Professional (AHP) and Dental Hygiene/Dental Therapy (DHDT) courses will no longer receive bursary funding from the NHS and will instead receive regular SFE support in the same manner as students studying non-NHS courses.
[start]These students are entitled to full SFE support (Tuition Fee Loan, Maintenance Loan as well as Supplementary Grants and/or DSA's where applicable). They receive this regardless of previous study or qualifications held, so long as they are not already registered in the field they are planning to study.[/start]

When are you planing to start this new course?

Thanks,
Claire

I'm just trying to understand whether I will be eligible for full funding for 3 years of the midwifery degree given my previous history of claiming SF ? (3 full time years for law undergraduate and 1 full year for nursing undergraduate)
Thanks !

Hi K.talia,
Your previous study with the Law degree with be exempt from the previous study calculation. However, repeat study on AHP and NHS courses will be treated as standard meaning that they will only qualify for one additional year of full funding. For your scenario, you should still have full funding to study a Midwifery degree using your additional year of funding provided that you do not have to repeat any years of study.

Hi there. Health and Nutrition is not an exception course and would be subject to previous study rules. Can you confirm the full name of the course and university? Will the new course be full time or part time? How many years will it be? When does the course start? Thanks, Leah.

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
It is Nutrition and Health (foundation degree) with University of Roehampton.
After the that foundation year I would go on to midwifery undergrad degree for 3 years.
However if I can't get funding for that foundation year I would probably rethink my options or try and apply to other unis which do not require science background to study midwifery.
