How to I pay my rent...?

Hi,

I'm looking to apply for the MSc Nursing (Mental Health) (pre-registration) at the University of Essex (where I did my BSc a few years ago). I'm aware that the fees are paid by the NHS, and it looks like I'll be eligible for an NHS bursary but that's only in the region of £5000. What I need to know is where do I get further funding to pay for things like rent and food? I'm currently working full time on about £18k, so really can't afford to stop work completely with no other sources of support!

Hope someone can help,

THanks

You can apply for a career and development loan. They have fixed interest rates throughout your studying and a few months after (roughly) and are up to £10,000. See here for more info...

I shall we doing the physio pre-reg course next year and have no other means for living costs.

I feel I ought to step in here and make clear that unlike student finance those loans aren't guarenteed- the banks that offer them credit check you first and can reject the application entirely or only award some of the money.

Not to mention the repayment rate is nowhere near as nice as the SF loans and can quickly mount up.
