Funding Graduate Medicine after masters

I started a masters in 2023 and received my first tranche of funding - but sadly because of circumstances had to drop out of the course.

I was wondering if this would affect my application and funding for a graduate medicine A101 course? Is the funding a different system, or will I be stuck because of that master’s funding which was paid out?

Hi Gabepet, what is the name of the university you are thinking of applying to? Can you please confirm the exact course title?
Is this a Full Time or Part Time course? How many years is the course in total? When are you planning to start your studies? Thank you, Stephen.

Hi, Stephen

So it would be A101 graduate medicine course at potentially 4 unis - full time, 4 year course ‘accelerated’ medicine.

Hoping to apply as normal, thanks

Hi Gabepet, for to apply for a graduate entry medicine course you must already hold a degree and now be applying for a graduate entry medicine course that is no longer than 4 years in length. As this is an undergraduate funded course, then the Postgraduate will have no impact on being able to apply.

Year 1: Must self-fund the first £3,465 of the total fee charged by the university. Student Finance England can award a tuition fee loan of up to £5,785.

Years 2-4: Will be entitled to a tuition fee loan of up to £5,535 and NHS England will pay £3,715 of the student’s fees.

Thanks, Stephen.

Hello Stephen,

I’m in a similar situation.
I’ve taken out a Masters Loan and am going to finish my MSc this August.

I have also previously taken a student loan to fund my undergraduate degree (in economics).

Can you confirm that whilst having already received undergraduate and postgraduate loans, it is possible to receive funding for 4 years graduate entry medicine.

Kind regards,
Z

Hi there, This would be the same for yourself as for to study graduate entry medicine students need to hold an honors degrees or higher, so this would not stop you from applying for the graduate entry medicine course. Thanks, Stephen.
