Second Degree

Sure, Is for BSc Medical Physiology at UEL or maybe King's College (Does this make a difference?).
It's a three years course.
It's for full-time study for 2024.

I have pre-settled status, have lived here since 2014 but with a break in between, that's why I'm not holding settled status.

My qualification is undergraduate, but not recognised here to work in the area. Title of Psychologist is the higher accomplished in my home country.

Thanks Drew

Hi there,

This course is classed as an exception course which means we do not take your previous qualification into consideration. Have you been living in the UK for the last 3 years and have no plans to move before the course starts? Do you plan to work while you study?

Thanks, Drew

Thanks Drew! Yes, I've been living in the UK for more than 3 years.
Regarding working, is there a restriction? I'm only asking for tuition loan so will probably have to work part time for living costs. Is that a problem?

Hi there,

No you can apply as an EU student for the Tuition Fee Loan only due to your pre-settled status, You would nee to complete the EU24n form an post it back to us. Once received it can take 6-8 weeks to process.

Many thanks Drew.
So BSc Medical Physiology is an exception course, that's 100% a fact?
Just asking because I couldn't find a list while searching for this information.

Also, could you check if the following degrees at UCL are also exception courses?
Applied Medical Sciences BSc
Infection and Immunity BSc
Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences BSc
Cancer Biomedicine BSc

I appreciate your help, thanks in advance

Hi Drew,

I submitted everything and my application was successful as more than two weeks ago.
But now, I got into the platform just to check something and my application status changed as SUBMITTED and not accepted anymore. How is this possible?
I'm out of England and cannot call but I'm very worried. I read there's a chat but I don't see the option for it.
Are you able to guide on this?

Nothing else requested, in fact all should be in order. When it was accepted the only missing thing was my bank details for the payments.

Hi there, We would require access to the account to check on your application, when are you returning back to England? Thanks, Angela

Hi Angela,
This happened almost a month ago and my application is everyday deferred for assessment. It's extremely disrespectful and I can't go through this anymore, my nerves are wrecking.
I want to know where can I complain. Every time I call I'm told the same, they don't know I have to wait. But I cannot wait wait anymore.

Hi,

My application result came up negative, I was told Medical Physiology is not an exemption course. How come I was reassure several times here that this was an exemption course for a second degree.
Where was that information retrieved? Why do they not have the same information?
Please, could you tell me where was the information taken?

Hi there,

We would have looked up the database at the time of when you were asking about the course. Did they approve your application 1st and then they have came back and said it wasn't an exception course? Have you spoke to any of the advisors since you have been told you are not eligible?

Thanks, Drew
