Funding for second degree - exception courses?

Original post by Mabelmama

Basically I didn't finish a degree 20 years ago. I have been told by sfe that I only have 1 year of funding left for a new degree except for subjects which are except from the normal rules.
Can anyone tell me if psychology, criminology or early years education (full time degrees) are eligible for full 3 years funding

Hi there, What university would this be with? Thanks, Angela

Hi there, Checking further into the course details you have listed such as Criminology, this is not an exception course and would not be eligible for funding . We would need an exact course choice and university for us to be able to check eligibility for that specific course. Thanks, Angela

Hi there. Psychology is only an exception course if studied on a part time basis.

Does the BA Primary Teaching Studies lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)?

Thanks, Leah.

Forgot to say the BA Primary Teaching Studies is an accelerated 2 year degree course.

Hi there. The BA Primary Teaching Studies wouldn't be an eligible exception course either. Thanks, Leah.

Hi Leah. Would the Primary and Early Years Education with QTS BA(Hons) course at University of Huddersfield be classed as an exception course?
