Second degree funding with SFE

Hi there, I am considering doing a second undergraduate degree. I currently hold a BSc hons and an MSc, but want to take my career to the next level. Would medicine, veterinary medicine, biomedical sciences, or any environmental sciences degree be eligible as the exempt degrees which SFE assist in loaning tuition fees? As you can imagine I am limited to finances and cannot pay for any of the years of any prospective degree myself. Many thanks.

Hi there,

When would the course start and would it be a part time or full time course? We would also need to know the full name of the course, what university you will attend and the duration of the course?

Thanks, Drew

MB ChB Medicine at Bristol University (Full time) - 2027 entry - 5 years

Water and Environmental Management MSc at Bristol University (Full time) - 2026 entry - one year.

Many thanks,
