Adult or mature students are entitled to apply for government funding to study at university in the same way as younger students, but what you get depends on your own personal circumstances. If you already have a degree, unfortunately you are not entitled to apply for government loan other than for specific vocational subjects such as teaching , social work , medicine, healthcare or dentistry. However, there are literally thousands of smaller charities and trusts in the UK which offer grants for educational or welfare purposes. Each one will have its own specific criteria and you will need to identify those for which you might be eligible.
