Stem course

I have compleated a full business degree back in 2019. I am now wanting to do the stem at computer science ba hons at Libf university.

For the stem courses 2nd degree are maintenance loans available especially if I’m having to do distance learning due to disability

Hi there,

Can you confirm when the course would start and is it a full time or part time course? Can you confirm what university you will attend, the full name of the course and the course duration?

Thanks, Drew

Hi there,

I cannot find libf as an institute on our database. If it is not on the database then we would not fund a course here.

Thanks, Drew

Hi there,

Currently there is no option for an undergraduate Computer Science course at this university however there was last year and the university may not have updated the database of yet. If they update the database and if you were to study it part time then it would be classed as an exception course. We would not look at your previous study or qualifications when assessing you for funding.

Thanks, Drew

Hi drew. Thanks for the update.

If they do update the system and it is on there and able to study.

Would I be eligible for the maintenance bit? Or is it just tuition.

hi will eligible courses allow me to apply for maintenance loan as it’s a stem or just tuition only?

Hi there,

Will you be attending the course or is it a distance learning course?

Thanks, Drew

It’s a distance learning one and I do have a disability that’s why it needs to be distance.

Hi there,

We do not usually offer a maintenance loan for a distance learning course however if you do have a disability which prevents you from attending a brick university then there is a form called the Medical Declaration form which you and your GP need to complete. If approved then you can be eligible for a Maintenance Loan.

Thanks, Drew
