Don't know which engineering you're on about, but De Montfort isn't in the Top 50 Unis for any of the ones I checked...

"students from September 2012 will receive a non-means tested grant of £1,000, a means-tested bursary of up to £4,395 and the non-means tested Reduced Rate student loan of up to £2,324 per year. In the final year of study the maintenance loan is reduced to £1,811"

for nursing, which the NHS also pays your tuition fees for

Not too shabby then :) Do you get any money for entering the actual profession like you do with teaching? If so, there's not many draw backs except for the tough course I guess :)

I don't really think so, I don't think they get golden hellos or whatever they're called. One draw back is the reliance on the NHS. Job availability heavily fluctuates year on year, depending on the governments stance. One great thing is that there's such a wealth of different jobs available once you get your degree, and you can work all over the european union as the degree course is EU-wide.

Yup, golden hellos in teaching means I can get a free £25,000 from the government as well as being exempt from council tax, but that's about it :)
