Exception list for HNC after a BA Hons Degree
Hi,
6 years ago I completed a 3 year undergraduate degree. However, I now work in a completely different industry and I’m looking to take a part time HNC in electrical engineering, hoping to get my tuition fees covered by SFE- but I already have a 3 year BA Hons degree that I’m currently repaying. Does anyone know if this is possible as I see that SFE have an exemption list for additional funding of part-time courses in Engineering.
The course would be at Trafford College, HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering for England (HTQ), course code TPP-HM4H-1200
Any advice on funding would be welcome. I rushed into my degree from school and now that I enjoy the career I’ve found. I would really like to take further study.
Thanks!

Hi there,
This course would not be classed as an exception course as it is not a part time honours degree and only a HNC.
Thanks, Drew

Hi thanks for getting back to me. What if I was to take the HNC and somehow pay for that. If I then decided to top up to a part time electrical engineering degree. Would the degree be covered by student finance?
