Master's loan for second master in healthcare

Hello,

I am looking for a bit of clarity on the eligibility for Master's loan.

I have an integrated master's and SFE website states I am not eligible for a loan if I want to get a full master. However, I recently found out that there are some exception, such as subjects in STEM or healthcare.

I am planning to apply for a MSc in Psychiatry, and I was wondering if this would be eligible for funding despite my previous integrated master. I have never taken postgraduate loans.

Thank you for the information.

Kind Regards,
Marika.
Hi Marika,

Can you confirm what university you will attend and the duration of the course?

Thanks, Drew

The course is MSc Psychiatry from Cardiff University and it is 1 year long (full time).
Hi there,

I have checked the course details you have provided and as you already hold a Postgraduate Qualification you would not be eligible for funding. The course you have requested is not an exception course.

Thanks, Drew

Hi Drew,

Thank you for you reply. Would you be able to provide a full list of courses that would be the exception? I have not yet been able to find it. Thank you for your help!
