2nd Degree (Dental Hygiene)

I am interested in studying for a dental hygiene degree at Uni of Essex. This would be my second degree - I have an BA from Durham (graduated 2011). Would I still be able to get a tuition loan? Or are there other funding options? Advice greatly appreciated!
Hi Ijpessex,

What is the full name of the course you are looking to study and what is the university?

Thanks,
Calum

Hi Callum
University of Essex and FdSc Oral Health Science

Thanks
Hi Ijpessex,

Unfortunately a foundation degree in Oral Health Science is not an exception course so you wouldn't be able to get funding for this if you already have a degree.

Thanks,
Calum

Hi Calum

Would uni of Suffolk and the course BSc (Hons) Dental Hygiene and Therapy mean I could be eligible for Tuition fee support?

Thanks

Hi Ijpessex,

Yes, this is an exception course so you would be eligible.
