2nd degree eligibility
I did an undergrad and masters in a non-STEM subject (music, 2017-21), funded by SFE. Since then I did a MSc Computing conversion degree, which I was able to fund without SFE.
I've always loved maths and would love to do a part-time undergrad degree (BSc Mathematics - Open University) alongside my job. I saw on the SFE website that they can provide "limited funding" for people to re-skill in subjects including mathematics. But I'm unsure if already having my CS conversion degree would prevent me from being eligible.
Also, if I am eligible, does anyone know how much money "limited funding" equates to?
