Hi there,

If you already hold a qualification you'd only be eligible for funding if you are studying an exception course. Unless you're moving onto a Postgraduate qualification. Thanks, Jason

Hi Ahsan,

I've enclosed a list of exception courses for you to look through. Some of these may only qualify for funding if you study them part time.

Hi Jason,

I have seen the list of exception courses. It says computing in the part-time section does that mean anything related to computing ? Like the courses I have mentioned in my previous reply. If I do part-time, I will be good for full funding (Maintenance Loan and Tuition Loan) ?

Thanks!

If the course leads to one of the following

part time honours degree

joint honours degree

integrated masters degree.


Then these typically are exception courses. When are you looking to begin the course? Thanks, Jason

Hi there,

We don't have a list of part time courses, you need to tell us the course name, start date, length and university and we can check if its eligible on the system.

Thanks,

Yes, all of these courses are showing as exceptions on our system, so this sounds fine.
