Special support loan

I have been approved to do a second degree as it falls under stem.

As in the past I have had special support loan element on my maintance loan. Will I be able to get this again for my new degree.

Hi Oliver,

What university are you studying with? Is the course distance learning?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi it’s Aston online distance learning bsc computer science part time. Meets all the requirements for stem second degree.

I have my medical declaration signed and ready to submit so I can get maintenance loan.

My question is as this is a second degree will I also be eligible for special support loan to (prof of pip etc)

Special Support element of the loan is for full time courses only. We don't award this for part time.

Thanks,
Claire
