Want to go to Uni; would I get any financial help?

[Spaceman]

Hello, I have tralled through various websites but can't find the concrete info I need to find out if I'd get any funding should I go back to University in September.

My situation is this:

Already have one degree (Marketing) but want to take a further degree (web development)while kids are young so I'm ready to start own business when youngest is at school
Have two dc's
DH earns about 35k a year

Will I be eligble for anything as I don't know if we'd be able to sustain three years of paying out for more education, despite the returns futher down the road.

Am I right in thinking that by already having a degree, I won't get any help at all.

generally NO funding for second degrees (there are some exceptions) not your course though

Second undergraduate degrees
Students who have already achieved an honours degree are not entitled to further statutory funding from their LA, if they decide to undertake a second undergraduate degree. The exceptions to this rule are students who undertake a second degree which leads to a professional qualification as a medical doctor, dentist, veterinary doctor and architect. Students undertaking these courses will still be entitled to apply for a maintenance loan for living expenses and other supplementary grants from their LA, such as the Parents' Learning Allowance, Childcare Grant (for registered childcare), Disabled Students' Allowance and Adult Dependants' Grant. However, they will not be entitled to apply for the Tuition Fee Loan nor the Maintenance Grant or Special Support Grant.

what about PG degree in web development?

or does it need to be degree.could you try for a job with training and salary

Hey,

I know in Scotland you dont.

I only get a loan as dh earns under 21k, well I get a full loan, goes down a percentage each couple of thousand he earns I think.

Thanks for that ScottishMummy; I thought as much.

The PG options sounds an option, but I've no experience and so would be worried that I'd not cut the mustard. I will look into this though. Is there a chance I'd get some funding there do you think?

I don't want to go into full time employment; it'll just be too many hours out of the house and away from the family.

girlylala0807; I think the problem is the fact I already have a degree.

The university you would go to wouldn't get any funding either if you already have a degree so the fees are likely to be higher.

Thanks Government....

Would it be better option to do it as a postgraduate course?

why dont you get prospectus from local uni or consider OU.some PG attract funding not all

"Look at this page"

"Look at public funding PG

you need look at what is avilable what attracts funding etc

good luck
