Is Nursing An Exemption Course?

Hi there,
Can you confirm what university you want to attend? This would not be classed as Lifelong Learning as this does not start till January 2027.
Thanks, Drew

Hi there,
I have checked these courses on our database and they are classed as an exception course so we would not take your previous study into consideration when assessing your entitlement.
Thanks, Drew

Hi there,
Yes it would be an exception course for the full time of the course nothing would change even when Lifelong learning is introduced.
Thanks, Drew

Hi icelolly1,
Yes, you would be awarded the Tuition Fee Loan, Maintenance Loan and any applicable supplementary grants.
Thanks, Clare

Thank you! Can I just confirm that this still stands even though my years of prior study didn’t lead to a qualification? As in, I’m not someone who already has a degree doing a second degree, I’m someone who simply has years of prior study that didn’t lead to a degree as I had to leave my course due to ill health?

Yes, that's right - because the course is an exception we disregard all your previous study.
Thanks, Graeme

Brilliant! Thank you!!

You're welcome - if you have any further questions feel free to ask.
Thanks, Graeme

Hi there. We don't have the information on exception courses for the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) at the moment. This is all the information that has been released so far: Lifelong learning entitlement: what it is and how it will work - GOV.UK
Once there is confirmation on exception courses for the LLE, they should be updated on this website. There should be more information on this later on in the year. Thanks, Leah.

Thank you!
