I have a degree which I finished in 2023 and was looking into studying the distance learning part time engineering degree with open university, but I was just wondering if I will be eligible for student finance for this degree.

Thank you. This is an exception course as a part time honours degree. If you're looking to apply for this prior to August 1st 2025 you can apply now. Otherwise the part time applications for 2025/26 will open later in the spring. Thanks, Jason

That's great, thanks Jason. How does the funding work for this as well? Do you get just the tuition fee, or do you get maintenance as well?

For the Open University it would be tuition fees for the funding. You can apply for maintenance loan if you're studying distance learning due to a disability that prevents you from physically attending a university. Thanks, Jason
