What financial support is available to international students?

What about students with a previous degree?
If you are a UK student and already have a degree you may find funding difficult for the BM BS degrees as you will not have access to a Tuition Fee Loan. Tuition fees must be paid in full by you or a sponsor. However, you can apply for a partially means-tested Maintenance Loan throughout the first four years of the degree. From your fifth year of study you may be eligible for an NHS Bursary to cover tuition fees and maintenance costs.
What NHS bursary am I entitled to?
Gaining admission to the standard five-year course means you are entitled to receive student loans from Student Finance England for maintenance and tuition fees in the first four years.
From the fifth year of study onwards, tuition fees are currently paid by the NHS Student Bursary Scheme and you may be eligible to apply for a means-tested NHS Bursary to cover maintenance costs and a reduced maintenance loan from Student Finance England. From the fifth year of study, graduate medical students are similarly eligible for an NHS Bursary to students studying for their first degree (see above).
