Think you can’t Afford to do Postgraduate Qualification? Think again!

If you're a UK resident and looking to study your Postgraduate qualification you can now apply for a loan through Student Finance England and borrow up to £10,609.

This means that it is not only Undergraduate students who can have the cost of their studies funded through a Student Loan that is paid back as you earn. Students who meet the below requirements and start an eligible Postgraduate Masters course will be able to apply for a loan to help with course fees, materials or living costs.

Key Facts about this Loan:

  1. The non means-tested loan is available to students under 60 years' old who are residents in England, or EU students who have lived in the UK for the past 3 years.
  2. If your course starts after 1st August 2018, you can get up to £10,609 during your Masters course. If you’re studying over 2 or more academic years, the loan will be paid in instalments and split equally across each year of study. The loan is paid in three instalments of 33%, 33% and 34% across each year.
  3. You cannot get a loan if you already hold a postgraduate qualification.
  4. The earliest you will start to repay is the first April after your course is completed. You pay back 6% your income above £21,000.
  5. At the moment, the interest rate on the Postgraduate Loan is 6.1%. It’s reviewed in September every year and is set by adding 3% to the Retail Price Index (RPI).
