BCOM's Student Extranet

Funding From 2010/11

Students on BCOM's new undergraduate Masters in Osteopathy, validated through its partnership with the University of Westminster, will attract four years of public funding, if otherwise eligible. Local authorities will fund eligible BCOM students in the usual way. Students can also access the usual top-up fee through the Student Loans Company (currently £3,290).

BCOM is a publicly funded institution and the level of the top-up fees is the same as at any other Higher Education Institution in the UK . For more detailed information about Home, EU and Overseas fees, your eligibility for student loans or any funding related issues please contact the Registry Department at admissions@bcom.ac.uk.

ELQ (Equivalent & Lower Qualification) Status

The UK government’s funding rules have changed so that those that have previously studied at one level (e.g. a first degree) cannot be funded again for a equivalent or lower qualifications (i.e. another undergraduate degree). This affects all UK students in all types of subject area. However, at BCOM, “ELQ” students are usually able to achieve funding because the Masters in Osteopathy includes masters-level study. This is an important consideration for graduate entrants and a major advantage in studying at BCOM. Students who believe they may be affected by ELQ (Equivalent and Lower Qualifications) should contact Kasia Tarnowska, BCOM Academic Registrar kt@bcom.ac.uk.
