The BSc (Hons) Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine qualifies for student finance.
New students who commence the course in 2021 / 22 may be eligible to apply to Student Finance England for a tuition fee loan to pay their fees. For more information on the eligibility criteria for part-time tuition fee loans, please visit the Student Finance website.
Please note that as no physical attendance is required for the course, the Student Loans Company (SLC) classifies this course as ‘distance learning’ and therefore only eligible for a tuition fee loan (not a maintenance loan).
If approved for a tuition fee loan, the loan will be paid directly to the University of Northampton. Students who are funding their studies via a tuition fee loan must provide evidence of SLC approval of funding at registration.
