ELQ exception - does it apply to Acces to HE?

Hi,

I want to study Dietetics and Nutrition in Sep 26. I don't have a Biology diploma so I am looking at Access to HE courses.

I studied Computer Science about 15 years ago in a EU country.

Would I be able to get funding for and Access course if I already have a degree?

Thanks!

Hi geologic,

Generally, if you already have a degree you will only be able to get funding for a higher level qualification. What level is the course you are looking to study?

Thanks,
Calum

Hi geologic,

This course type would usually attract the Advanced Learner Loan.

I have provided a link with further information on the Advanced Learner Loan to help you.

Thank you, I looked at the eligibility criteria and there's nothing about having a degree already. Looks like I qualify, excellent news!

Tahnk you very much!
