How to fund Access to Medicine?

**Reala** · 08-08-2008, 03:53 PM

Hi there,

Because this would be my second attempt at third level education it seems my ability to get financial support is slightly hindered.

If I wanted to study for a year at say COWA on their medical course, I would have to move from Southern England to Northern England with only about 2000 in the bank... I guess it would then be up to me to find a part time job, but how do-able would this be with such an intense course?

I was just wondering really how people have paid for a2m courses when they have already done level 3 education?

There is time to work, as long as you're relatively disciplined. Plus COWA are quite generous with their hardship fund and of course there are no fees.

Not sure about this 'Northern England' business though!

haha, sorry about that, forgive my phrasing, I meant up further North.

I'm from right down in Southampton (although in Thailand right now! Been travelling here for almost 9 months).

re: course fees - it now costs £300 to sign up, in terms of no course fees, that relates to exam fees.

I've paid £49 up front - and have to pay £250 on the day
