Pre-registration MSc Funding

Hi,

I have a place on an MSc programme that runs through the undergraduate scheme as it is an NHS pre-registration course.

The university is charging £11,000 for tuition fees but have told SFE that the course is £9,250 so myself and other members of the upcoming September cohort are only being awarded the £9,250.

I have contacted the university and they have confirmed the £11,000 tuition fee cost is correct. They have stated they expect students to cover the difference between the £9,250 and the £11,000.

I believe the course would fall under the accelerated programme funding option but it seems the university are not updating the new tuition fee cost with SFE. Is there anything we can do to gain the £11,000 accelerated funding?

Hi there,

Can you please provide the full course name, duration of the course, and the university where you'd be studying?

Thanks,

Thank you. I've checked the system and they don't have it down as an accelerated course. If it is accelerated they'd need to add it to Courses Management Service so we can pay the correct fees.

Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross,

Thanks for checking!

I have now had confirmation from UCLan that it is not an accelerated programme. The programme runs through the undergraduate funding scheme.

Does this mean that the tuition fee should be capped at £9,250?

Hi,

The standard cost for undergraduate courses is £9250. That is what we pay for them.

Thanks,
Ross
