Full Time Study Grants Help.

Hello

I am considering doing a Mechanical Design Engineering BEng (Hons) degree course which will be 1 year full time.

The Course costs £8500

I currently live with my partner and have a mortgage on the property we live in.

Our household income (me and partner) falls into the 25k-40k bracket

I believe I may be eligible for a £1000 bursary through the university as well as being eligible for a loan from the government to cover the cost of studies.

Another Grant I may be able to get is the Student Maintenance Grant for up to £3250

Are there other grants/tax deductions I may be eligible for i.e. council tax?

Anything I may have missed?

Thanks

You can't do a degree in one year!! A BEng takes at least three years and maybe longer if you do a year in industry/placement

That was my first thought, but maybe he has some qualification that enables him to go straight into the final year of a B.Eng. Anyway, I agree that there are a lot of academic questions that need answering before even thinking about money.

I know it might sound crazy but as the OP talks about household income in their post, I want to make sure that they realise that you can't work full time and do an engineering degree. Engineering is usually pretty full time compared to Arts courses.
