Back to Education Allowance for Northern Irish Course

Hi All
I have been accepted into a Degree course in University of Ulster, Belfast. I will be on Jobseekers allowance for 13 months at that stage. Is there any issues with getting the BTEA for a Northern Course?? Its an UCAS approved course.

I know i will have to pay (or get a student loan) for the fees which are over £3200 Stg.

Any information Re; grants and other benefits, would be appreciated!

Cheers

From the Operational Guidelines on Back to Education Allowance (from welfare.ie)

"Full-time day undergraduate courses in the United Kingdom and other European Union countries which are recognised for Higher Education Grant purposes may also be considered for the Back to Education Allowance. "

Provided your course in NI meets this requirement, there shouldn't be a problem with BTEA.

Some information on the Scheme, along with additional benefits you may qualify for are listed here
