Hi Craig, will this be full or part time and what level of funding would this be? Thanks, Jason

It would be full time study. I currently get a tuition fee loan and a means-tested maintenance loan but would these still be availible to me or would I have to self fund more? Craig

Hi, it would be a postgraduate physician associate studies which is a 2 year course. I don't have a preferred university as of yet but I'm thinking of something in the Midlands like Birmingham. Thanks

The course name is Physician Associate Studies (Postgraduate) at the University of Leeds. This course is also a MSc instead of a PgDip.
Thanks

Hi there. Thanks for confirming. This course attracts the Postgraduate Masters Loan (PGM). You can read more about what you can get here: https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan/what-youll-get
It's a contribution based loan to help with the cost of your postgraduate studies, the PGM doesn't offer a Tuition Fee loan. It's paid directly to the student and if you are going to use it to pay the Tuition Fees, you would need to set up a payment plan with the university.
In regard to NHS bursary, you would not be entitled to the PGM if you are eligible to receive funding from the following:
