To study and work but now live there permanently. This is where I am uncertain, as it says on the GOV site that EU national students must have lived there for 3 years for reasons other than to study. As a UK national does the same condition apply; am I now considered ordinarily resident?

If you weren't doing your Postgraduate course would you be returning to Northern Ireland or would you be staying in England to live?

I'd be staying as I have already signed another tenancy agreement for the next 12 months. Id be living there regardless of the course

I would suggest you submit an application for a Postgraduate loan, and explain this in full. This will allow our assessors to determine your eligibility, based on the most accurate information about your circumstances.

Thanks
