Can I get a student loan (again)

[Ladylou83]

I would really like to study with the OU, but will require financial assistance to do so. Am I right in thinking, as I have already been to university that I cant get student loan funding?

I have a BA degree (not honours) already from 2005.

Thanks in advance

I am eligible for a student loan after one in the 1990's.

It is more about whether your course is eligible I think.

The equivalent or lower qualification rules should not apply here if you are doing an honours degree, but check with student finance. Your employer or local council may also be able to help with funding too (it's always worth an ask.
Also check if you can use credit transfer to skip some of the level 1 courses.

Hi - you are entitled to 4 years worth of student loans in total. However you can't get a student loan for OU - or at least you never used to be able to, it was pretty much the first question on the loan application form. But the OU have there own system for bursaries - I did several fully funded courses with them before going to another Uni. I am not sure if the OU funding has a similar 4 years (or p/t equivalent).

I was looking to do a masters but no way I could afford to fund it. My only option was a career development loan that many banks offer.

But if you go on direct.gov there's loadsa advice on there
