Have you tried the local college, they do part time courses in this type of thing  or even try and contact companies that may be interested in sponsoring you

there is an option to give the exam privately, without going to school. However, u need to contact a recognised school for the same. They can help u.

National Health Service Corps is what you heard about; however, they've had trouble with funding in recent years so investigate them fully.  \nAlso check with your school's FA and admissions offices as well as your undergrad premed adviser.

Go to the local British Centre.They not only provide all the information about higher education in GB,they also conduct IELTS which you may require in order to be eligible for admission.

I can only speak about our situation here in Northern ireland but most Trusts have SW trainee programmes where you agree to work for them after qualification (although actually they cant make you stick to it!)\n\nContact the training and development section of your local authority and speak to the most senior person you can get. If you are already half way through your training and doing OK you should be a cheap and attractive option for them\n\nAlternatively send a letter into community care magazine and you should get a lead there. good luck

Return to the university and get a degree in 'Life - there is no such thing as a free meal'.  Many university students have no idea of what goes on in real life and lack the common sense to look forward.  Surely you had some idea of what you wanted to do before you commenced your studies.....

I dont think so really, you could ask your local council about what training courses they offer. They may run cheap adult education classes in the evenings that can train you to be a class room assistant. You could try that first and see whether you seriously want to dot hat job without commiting to unicersity.

Im 25 and my life went a bit upside down a few months ago so I decided to go to uni - I know how you feel, I'm earning £22k at the moment and the thought of not having that is pretty scary!\n\nI have no qualifications other than GCSEs but so far have 4 unconditional offers for this year doing law and social policy.\n\nMoney wise once your over 25 and if you live by yourself or with your parents, (a partners income would be taken into account if lived with), you are classed as independent which means you will get full financial support, loan and grant wise - as long as your income in the acadmic year is £0 (which if you study full time it will be as part time work doesn't count). In most cases it also means that you will be entitled to a universities full busary as it is normally means tested alongside the maintenance grant.\nThere are also Hardship Funds available and mature students are one of the top priorities as they often have existing financial commitments. These have a lenghty application process though and are done through your uni once you get there.\nIf your under 25 the income of your parents is taken into account unless you can prove that you have supported yourself financially for the last 3 years (check me on that though - its all on the source below). In this case its done on a sliding scale, the less they earn the more you get etc.\n\nYou can apply for the money side of things without having had to apply for a course or even registering with UCAS. You have to do this  through your LEA, Local Education Authority, on paper or online which is useful (see the link in the sources).\n\nWhatever you do just go for it - you will survive money wise, you just learn to budget, but everyone is in the same boat so you wont be the only cheap skate there!

It's not too late!  Lots of people come back to enter the health care field later in life.  Visit www.studentdoctor.net and click on forums, then look especially at the forum for 'non-traditional' (i.e. not coming straight out of undergraduate degree) students.  There is LOTS of helpful information.\n\nI am also planning to take a non-traditional route, going a few years after I get a Masters degree in public health.  For starters, make sure you've taken all the science pre-requisities to get into med school (bio, chem, physics, etc.).  Look on specific school websites to see the requirements.  You can take classes at a local community college.\n\nGood luck, and I hope you find lots of helpful info on studentdoctor.net --I know it's helped me a lot!

Of course you can apply.   The final choice is with the people who do the evaluation of your application.  Until you apply, they can not make that determination.\n\nHere is a link that might help you:\nhttp://www.hsmp.uk.com/

Not sure you can do this online as it is a 3 year degree course.\nYou could apply to be a physio assistant though, you dont need any special qualifications forthat

Why not try your local college, they usually have courses in that field, and it will be cheaper than forking out £2500.  If your on any benefits you may get your fee waivered if you go to any college.

You need to improve your written English or you will not be able to get through the entrance procedures. In the UK you should write to the Ministry of Health, Whitehall, London and ask them for advice on work, visas and study.

You can probably qualify for the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. Here's UK government's HSMP website.\nCalculate your points to see if you qualify:\nhttp://www.hsmp.uk.com/\n\nHaving a job offer is not requirement!

I must admit I was ready to shoot you down (as a couple of others have done)  after reading the first part of your question but I wont coz the second part was more reasonable! lol\nYou are studying good subjects.  Get more detailed advice from a Careers tutor or look at Uni's that do medical degrees and see what they are asking for.  I cant tell you as I dont have a medical degree and dont plan on getting one coz Im too old now ;D\nGood luck, Im sure you will do well, you have a good solid grounding at the moment and im sure you will build on that.
