Undergraduate medicine as a graduate

keh92

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any financial help available for students who already have an undergraduate degree but have applied to start a 5-year undergraduate medical program. Unlike the specific graduate entry medicine programs (which are funded by the NHS and thus very competitive) the undergraduate program must be self-funded either privately or through a bank loan. Obviously not everyone can afford to do this and I was just wondering if anyone knew of any trusts/charities which help students financially for this reason. I have looked online but cannot seem to find anything specifically for this.

Thanks in advance - sorry if posted in the wrong place I'm new to this site!

have a look on turn 2 us, a website that looks at grants available to people, some are very specific....

was also going to sugguest this: http://www.family-action.org.uk/section.aspx?id=1037

but they have suspended service until next year which may not bode well...

there are career development loans - but you have to start repaying them immediately....

You don't have to start repaying career development loans immediately but they're unsuitable for courses over 2 years.
