Student loan for second degree - Dental Hygiene

Hello guys i have studied abroad but i have done the official recognition with NARIC and its considered as Bsc in Maths. I want to apply as a dental hygienist in 2025 (kings college, southbank University, Queens mary or Portsmouth University).
As i know they dont give a student loan for a second degree,but i was searching online and apparently for dental hygienist they do. Do you know if that is true? Or if anyone has the same experience? Or who to ask about it?

Hi Sartjola,

Thank you for confirming. Those courses are an exception to previous study and equal level qualification rules, therefore you should be eligible for support as long as you meet all other standard criteria and are not registered in that particular field already.

Thanks, Clare
