Hi there,

Thanks - Psychology is an exception when studied part time. So, this means you'll be entitled to the Tuition Fee Loan for the duration. When you study distance learning you'll only be entitled to a Maintenance Loan if you're studying distance learning due to a disability.

Thanks, Graeme

Yes, that's an exception too. Generally speaking, if the course has Psychology in the title then that's a good sign, but you can let us know and we'll check to make sure.

Thanks, Graeme
