Tuition fee loan for second degree

Hi,

I have a BSc in life sciences already, and am about to start teacher training to become a chemistry teacher in September which i have already been approved funding for.

Would I also be able to get tuition fee funding for a part time degree (at 25% intensity) in maths and physics at the same time as it's an exception course, or do I have to wait until I have QTS.

I'm aware that is a lot of degrees. As there is a massive shortage of physics teachers, I would like to be able to teach physics A-level eventually so want to improve and demonstrate a decent physics knowledge

Hi there, the BSc (Honours) Mathematics and Physics is showing as an exception course if studied part time. But you aren't able to have funding at the same time for two courses. Thanks, Jason
