Am I eligible for the Flying Start scheme?
Answer
Eligible Students
Students who commenced an undergraduate degree course advertising ‘Flying Start’ in September 2012 or later and are paying the fee levels set for new students for 2020 will be eligible. Students repeating course stages and paying the fee levels set for new students for 2020 will be entitled to alternative equivalents.
Direct Entry
Students who are Direct Entry to Stage 2 or 3 of an undergraduate degree course advertising Flying Start and who are paying the fee levels set for new students for 2020 will be entitled to the same items as other students on the same course and stage.
EU students
Where ‘Flying Start’ is advertised, it applies to EU students, as long as the other eligibility conditions are met (see above). Please note that Erasmus students do not pay the higher level fees and are therefore not eligible for ‘Flying Start’.
International Students
Where ‘Flying Start’ is advertised for a course, it applies to International students, as long as the other eligibility conditions are met (see above).
Part-Time Students
Part-Time students commencing on undergraduate degree programmes from September 2012 and paying the fee levels (pro rata) set for new students for 2020 are entitled to some ‘Flying Start’ items. What you will receive will depend upon your course.
Non-Eligible Students
- Students studying Continuing Professional Development qualifications are not eligible.
- Students who are Fee Exempt, such as incoming Erasmus students, are not eligible.
- Students on courses which are externally funded, such as Department of Health funded courses and apprenticeships, are not eligible.
- Postgraduate Courses are not eligible for Flying Start. However, there are some undergraduate degree courses with an optional progression route leading to a Masters level qualification. Students who progress from the undergraduate part of the course onto one of these Masters level qualifications will be eligible for Flying Start, as long as the other eligibility criteria have been met (see above).
