Second BSc in allied health - funding

Hi, I was wondering if someone could confirm that if you do a second degree in an allied health subject such as BSc physiotherapy, you are entitled to student finance tuition and maintenance fee loans?

I previously studied BSc psychology but would like to retrain as a physio, and am keen to do the BSc rather than the MSc, but just want to find out the funding situation!

Hi! It would be BSc Physiotherapy (Hons) at St Mary’s University, Twickenham and the course lasts for 3 years. It is starting in the 2024/25 academic year too.
Thanks!
