Response As advised bursary funding is only available to medical students from the fifth year of study for undergraduate or second year of study for postgraduates. This means we have no data for undergraduates in study years 1-4 or study year 1 for postgraduates. Furthermore, many medical students only apply for a fees-only bursary, therefore aren’t subject to income assessment and this negates the requirement to supply details about their family (i.e. whether they have children or not).
