HOW I PAY FOR UNI WITHOUT A LOAN | Funding Undergraduate Medicine as a Graduate

[@ArrayRay_physio]

I’m happy you’re proving that it is possible to work part time whilst at uni. I’m going to study my masters at the university of Birmingham and I intend on keeping my part time job in London for the weekends.

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

It’s defo doable 💪🏼 good luck with your masters and balancing it all🥰

[@ArrayRay_physio]

@@LydiaMartinMedic Thank you, good luck to you too :)

[@chloesoutar4837]

This video was incredibly helpful, thank you! I've just graduated this year and I am about to start medicine at this end of this month. Good luck with second year!! 🥰

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

Thank you Chloe!! Good luck with your first year!! ❤️❤️❤️

This vid has been super inspirational! I'm currently a 1st year med student in the Caribbean doing MBBS as my first degree. Thankfully I received a government bursary to cover my tuition, books and a monthly maintainance. Feeling super motivated to start back tutoring now lol, I enjoyed it anyway.

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

Ahh glad you enjoyed it - good luck with your degree xx

[@ephraimtesfay1461]

Well done! Your story is very inspirational!

[@jekanigunanithy1370]

Hi Lydia, I hope you are well! You are very inspiring 💕 I’m also doing undergrad med after having studied biomed, so I feel the struggle. I am not sure if you’ve tried this before, but I thought that at first I wouldn’t get any help with tuition fees, but I applied on sfe to see what happens, and student finance said that the way they calculate the tuition fee loan entitlement is (number of years we’re entitled to + 1) -( number of years we’ve studied already), so my previous degree ended up taking 4 years, so I was gratefully entitled to (5-4)= 1 year of tuition fee loan, but they told me that I will get this in my 4th year. So if you did a 3 year course, you could potentially get 2 years worth of tuition fees x (might be worth trying to apply for a tuition fee loan, we got nothing to lose) x

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea 😱😱 I will 100% send in an application for a tuition fee loan next year and see what happens, thank you thank you!! 💖💖💖

[@jekanigunanithy1370]

@@LydiaMartinMedic Awww no worries xx ❤️❤️❤️Honestly I had no idea until I tried it with the mindset of "let's see what happens" 😂😂😂"

[@jaehyunyaa127]

omg what I know for nursing we still got Tution fees and a loan for a second degree I’m so surprised u don’t for medicine 😵‍💫

[@AviAero123]

This reminds me of my MSc days in Soton working part time at the post office, as a bartender, mall assistant, chef assistant etc (you name it 🤣) for paying my bills while doing my research on my thesis in morning hours at Boldrewood campus... tough days!!!

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

Omg hats off to you fellow soton grad!! Xx

[@wema1529]

I'm literally in the same sitution studying my second degree

[@theRcloud-]

Don’t you get the maintenance loan in staggered payments so I’m wondering did you ask for the full amount at once to pay for your tuition or did you pay it gradually

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

You can pay your tuition fees in staggered amounts in line with the maintenance loan payments so I did that!

[@Giovi0408]

Is the maintanance loan available for foreign students?

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

I'm not sure, I'd look on the student finance website :) x

[@thakshayanravichandran4003]

Are u a EU student?x

[@LydiaMartinMedic]

Nope UK student x

[@thakshayanravichandran4003]

I am 17 and I will come to UK for my BCS biomedical science program with foundation year and this is 4 years course...so the question is can I do a medicine in UK after my graduation?
