Second degree funding

Hello, I'm aware that SLC will fund a second degree for specific Psych subjects, can anyone confirm if Criminology and Psych are allowed?

Hi there, Psychology is an exception if studied part time. If you have a specific university in mind then do advise us the course and university details and we can check eligibility. Thanks, Jason

Hi there, so you plan to study at the Open University, Part Time.Can you provide a little more information such as:
The exact course title? How many years is the course in total? When are you planning to start your studies? Is this course an honours degree? A joint honours degree? Or an integrated masters degree? Thank you, Stephen.

Okay, yes this is fine, this course is an exception - just to make you aware, the 25/26 part-time applications are expected to open in May.

Once they do you can then apply online.

Thanks, Graeme

Hi there. Apologies for the incorrect advice previously. This course isn't an eligible exception course. Psychology on it's own is normally an exception course for part time. Thanks, Leah.
