Student Finance for Second Degree ODP

I’m about to start a second degree in Operating Department Practice in Sept 26.
This is my first NHS/Allied Health Professions course.
Graduated from BSc Veterinary Nursing 10 years ago and I am looking to change careers.
Am i likely to be eligible for student finance? Has anyone had any experience with this before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Hi there,

Funding on a new NHS/Allied Health Professions course will be exempt from previous study and Equivalent Level Qualification rules. Therefore, if a student already holds a degree or has previous study they will still be eligible to access the full package of support(so long as they are not already registered in the field they are planning to study).

What is the university you want to apply to?
What is the exact course title?
Is this a Full Time or Part Time course?
How many years is the new course in total?

Thank you, Stephen.
