Hi all,

I'm very interested in studying a MSc Management course, I'm a currently a UK student and intend to study/work here once I graduate.

I'm concerned by the prices of some of the courses I'm considering applying to, particularly those in excess of £20k and wondered what kind of finance is available to support these costs.

I appreciate loans are no longer provided by SLC as for undergrad, and that bank loans are only for a maximum of 10k which don't even cover course fees let alone living expenses.

I'm from a single parent background, as a result will not be able to pay up front.

Are there any options available to me?

I think you can split up the cost into 2 instalments, although some unis charge an admin fee for that.

I know that Cass doesn't.

Also, you could think about doing it part-time, and work.

Thanks for the response.

I'd imagine they would want the 2nd installment before you graduate though? If I could pay half now and half once graduated that would be perfect, but as it stands the higher fees act as a barrier.

Thanks - I think part time/work seems to be the only way to proceed.

I think the 2nd payment is due in January or something.

You're right about the Careers Development Loan, it's only 10k. Also, you need to apply 3 months before the course starts. I applied too early, and the application just got bounced back.
