2nd Masters degree

Hey all! I'm currently considering applying for an MSc in Forensic psychology on The Open University, however I've noticed they are not BPS accredited which I feel may be a barrier to obtaining a desired career in future, although I'm still very interested in the course and the flexibility The Open University offers currently.

My question is, if I complete this MSc in Wales with funding from student finance Wales, but then wish to complete a second MSc with BPS accreditation in England, would I be able to still obtain funding for this as it would be my first master's degree funded by student finance England, or would it still be viewed as a second master's degree regardless of if they themselves funded it or not?

Hi Alice, are you currently with Student Finance Wales and permanently living in Wales? Thanks, Jason
