If you have previously studied a non-NHS funded course, then your entitlement to the NHS Bursary support and reduced rate maintenance loan from the Student Loans Company is not affected. 

However, if you have previously started or completed any NHS funded course then this could have implications for your funding.

Please contact NHS Student Awards for more information on this.

Please note that if you already hold an honours degree, you will not be eligible to receive the full time standard funding package for a healthcare degree if applying to Student Finance Wales. Please find further information regarding previous study rules on our Previous Study page or Contact Us if you have any further queries. 

If you are studying a part time course, you can still receive part time funding as subjects allied to medicine are exemption subjects.

Some students may be entitled to state benefits or tax credits while studying. Please see Student and Benefits for further information.
