SAAS after postgraduate degree at open university?

Hiya everyone. Wondering if anyone knows if I can do a full time funded further counselling degree at Open University once I finish up my Bsc in psychology with counselling later this year. I want to go full time but I'm not sure if it will be fully funded. Can anyone elaborate on this? I'm in Scotland and I'm eligible for part time funding but not sure how full time funding works. Thank you

Hi April,

If you are applying for funding through SAAS you'd need to contact them directly in regards to your eligibility. https://www.saas.gov.uk/contact-us

Thanks, Jason

Not sure your plans moving forward but a separate degree in Counselling is very, very unlikely to open any doors for you over your current Psychology degree, either in Counselling or Psychology fields.
