Tuition Loan for study abroad degree

I have previously studied a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science with Foundation year at Teesside Uni however I dropped out in Year 3/4 due to financial hardships. I now have the opportunity to study BSc (Hons)
Football Coaching, Development and Administration at USW in partnership with UK International Soccer. I'm struggling to find clear answers as to how I could go about achieving funding for this degree. It is a paid 'internship' completing work placements in the US whilst studying remotely. I would be trying to get on the Jan 26 start.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If there is an overseas placement as an integral part of the course, you would be eligible for support giving that the course itself is eligible for SFE funding. You mentioned you have 3 years previous study, this will be taken into account when applying for future support. You would need to provide evidence of your Compelling Personal reasons such as a 3rd party professional letter that confirms what happened, when this happened and how this directly impacted your studies. As the previous study calculation is dependent on how many years your course is, minus your previous study.

Thanks, Clare
