    My understanding is that you can only claim for one qualification at once so I think it is unlikely. The funding gets assigned to one institution (I may be wrong but this is my experience). Scotland may be different.
    There are three types of people in this world. Those who can count and those who can't.

    Sorry, I can't see the point of doing both, even if you could be funded for it. Can you explain the thinking involved in this and the subjects involved?

    Why don't you just do a combined Maths and Science degree?
