Degree funding
I was wondering if anyone could break down the NHS funding side of doing this degree as a second degree so I can have a rough idea of what sort of “income” I’d be looking at through the loan systems? Is maintenance loan still through SLC or is it just the NHS bursery as an equivalent? Just want to have an idea if it’s a financially doable situation before I start any application processes!
I’ve just started looking into the idea of midwifery as a second degree having previously done veterinary nursing during covid- I failed my final exam by 3 marks on a resit and refused to pay £9k to resit the year when I’d already been online for 2 years! I understand you get a grace year with SFE so that would only allow me to access 1 year of degree funding but I’ve read that NHS degrees are funded via a different route? I’m currently on maternity leave so just wanted to get a clear picture of the financial side of things before doing any applications for when I finish my mat leave! Thank you!
