Student Finance Funding for second Degree

Original post by iqra15

Hi
I have seen conflicting information I currently hold a degree but would like to complete a second degree part time in forensic psychology
I have not heard back from student finance but some one on the chat said I am not eligible for funding as psychology is not an exception course
Just to clarify the course I am interested in and have been offered a position in is at Kingston university
6 years part time
Forensic Psychology BSc (Hons)
Can Some one please help.

Hi there, Please can you confirm the university that you will be attending? Thanks, Angela

Hi iqra15,

I can confirm that if you plan to study this course part time it is an exception course and you will be eligible for funding.

Hi amazing thank you so much,

Would you be able to advise why the student finance chat said I’m not elegible m, would I be eligible for any maintenance with the second degree or is it just for tuition fees?

In addition to this I have one more question which is

Kingston also offers a criminology and forensic psychology course would you be able to advise if this is also an exception course or would it just be for forensic psychology

Many thanks for your prompt responses

Hi iqra15,

You would also be eligible for a part time maintenance loan.

I can't see this course listed on our database so I would be unable to advise if this is also an exception.

Thanks,

Thank you

The course is titled Criminology and Forensic Psychology BSc (Hons) if that helps

A lot of the core modules are the same with a few changes

In terms of the maintenance loan, if I have already submitted an application for the tuition fees can I add this on now or isit too late?

Hi iqra15,

I can only see this course listed as full time? If the course is full time it would not be an exception.

The deadline to make any changes to your application is 9 months after the start of the academic year so you still have time.

Thanks,

Hi

The course

Criminology and Forensic Psychology BSc (Hons) Has a 6 year part time option which has been offered to me as a switch from forensic psychology if I would want to take it up

So if it was apart time would it be eligible as I know it’s not that clear on what is an exception and what isn’t so wanted clarity before I made a final decision.

Hi iqra15,

The course would need to be visible on our database with a specific code to be eligible, if I cannot see the course listed I cannot confirm this.

Thanks,
Calum
