Student Loan Eligibility

Hi there,
I am just wandering if I am eligible for a student loan to pay for a future degree.

I got a loan in 2004 to pay for a natural science access course at uni. This loan has been payed off.

I studied a diploma in Adult Nursing for 3 years at uni. This was an NHS funded course with no loan.

Am I eligible to apply for a loan for a degree? I cannot find information for my circumstances anywhere.

Thanks alot

Adam

    I'm pretty sure that you are not eligible,

    the SFE gov.uk page says

    You’ll usually get student finance only if you’re doing your first higher education qualification - even if your previous course was self-funded.
