Physio courses are classified as exception courses by SFE so you should be eligible to receive both loans despite your previous study. If you are applying to unis in England, you would also be eligible to apply to the NHS Learning Support Fund for the annual training grant of £5k plus other benefits. :smile:

I don’t believe you get the maintenance component only the fees paid plus the £5k NHS grant

You get both the tuition fee loan and maintenance loan (and then you can apply for the NHS LSF). :smile:
