Pre-Registration Physiotherapy Funding Query

Hi,

I am looking into doing a pre-reg Physio course, beginning 2026. However, in 2023 I completed an MSc. I know this pre-reg course is considered as undergrad funding, but I am just wondering if anyone knows whether having done an MSc I would still be viable for a loan from Student Loans Company, and the NHS Learning Support Fund? Any help appreciated!

Pre-reg masters courses are eligible for the additional support from the NHS LSF if you are studying at a uni in England.

I'm moving your thread to the Ask SFE forum so that an official SFE/SLC rep can answer your other query. You need to add the full name of you course and the uni.

Hi there, what is the full name of the previous course studied? Where was this studied? Was this a Full Time or Part Time course? How many years was the course in total?

As for the new course,

Please confirm the exact course title? If this is a Full Time or Part Time course? How many years is the course in total? When are you planning to start your studies (Sept start 2026?) Where you are planning to study? Thank you, Stephen.
