Student Loan for Second Degree in Dietetics

Options
Hi all, I have an undergraduate & Masters in arts subjects but am looking to retrain as a dietitian. I've been doing research & it appears that I will in fact be eligible for a student loan, maintenance grant & NHS bursary as a BSc in Dietetics is on the list of approved courses.  Am I right?! Can't find any contact details to contact SLC or similar so thought I'd ask here!

Thanks so much, I'm really excited at the opportunity to retrain but don't want to get my hopes up if I can't get funding!

    I would think the dietetics department at the university concerned would know if their course qualifies. They would also know how much of a loan/ grant you would get. Remember student loan repayments would be on the new "plan 5" for courses not yet started.
