Paramedic Science (as exception course) with previous study

Dear Student Finance representative,

I am writing to ask about my eligibility for further finance from SFE; Even though paramedic science is on the list of exception courses, I have previously studied an allied health professions (radiotherapy) before, and claimed finance for one year

This is on top of my previous study at Anglia Ruskin where I did biomedical science for two years, and then life sciences (three years of finance total) and left with a certificate of higher education

Would you be able to advise whether I can apply for further undergraduate funding?

Warm wishes,
Daya

HI there,

We normally don't fund second degrees unless its one of our exception courses. Can you confirm the course details i.e. full name of the course, length, whether full time or part time, start date and university you're wishing to study with? Once we have this information we can check if the course is an exception course.

Thanks,
Claire

Hi Claire,

Thank you for your response,

The course is Paramedic Science BSc (Hons) B781
Starting this year (2025/26) at City St George's (Tooting Campus)

If I am not eligible for a tuition fee loan, would I still be able to get a maintenance loan?

Hi there,

Thank you for confirming. Paramedic Science courses are an exception to previous study and equal level qualification rules if you are eligible for the Ambulance Service Trust. Can you confirm if you have confirmed this with the university?

Thanks, Clare
