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,

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.
