Hi

I am EU national and have been studying in Scotland for undergraduate degree. Next year, I would like to do master degree in England. I found information that:

"You must be resident in England prior to the beginning of your course. Exceptions may apply to EU students"

"In order to be eligible you must have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least three years on the first day of the academic year in which your course begins. In addition, you must have most recently been resident in England."


Am I considered to be "EU student" or "student from Scotland"?

Can you please let me know if I am eligible for a postgraduate loan?

Thanks.

Hi. I would like to ask one very important question for me. I'm interested in postgraduate studies in London. I graduated civil engineering in technical university in Poland where they are free . I found the information in the internet that according to NARIC, the level of education (5 years studies, 2 stages) which we call in Poland " master of science" = Bachelor Honurs in UK. The exceptions are graduates of technical universities, whose diplomas are recognized as MSc. I read in the rules of loans thati can not have equivalent "self funded" qualifications, however my qualifications wasn't self-funded beacasue it was free. "Am I eligible to take advantage of the loan for postgraduate studies in UK?Thank you

I have just completed a self funded Masters in Visual Communication. I would like to apply to student finance for a loan so I can study a PGCE in Lifelong learning. Would I be eligible for support? Thanks

I'm a mature student (over 30) how can I fund post-grad study?
If I do a PGCE will it be govt. funded? What about if I do a masters in a chosen subject? will that be funded?

It says that EU students may be eligible for this loan. I would like to know what criteria I'd have to meet to be able to apply?

What are the specific details of the eligibility criteria for the postgraduate loans?

The guide to the Postgraduate Loan Scheme at www.findamasters.com explains that you must be a resident in England to be eligible. My home address is in England, but am currently studying at Cardiff University and therefore have spent most of the past three years in Wales. Will I still be eligible for the postgraduate loan?

Also, I phoned up the Student Loans Company last week with some questions about the postgraduate loans. The lady I spoke to said that applicants will not be eligible for the postgraduate loans if they owe any arrears to the Student Loans Company, and she specifically said that this includes any unpaid undergraduate loans. Is this true? I haven't been able to find confirmation of this anywhere else, so I suspect (and hope) that I may have misunderstood her.

Hi, I understand and except more information will be available in April/May but wanted to ask a few more questions. I will have been living in south Korea for two years before my course starts in September 2016 however I have only been on temporary contracts and do have documentation that lists me currently as a British citizen working abroad. I am still a little concerned living outside the UK for a short period and directly prior to my masters course starting may stop my application from being accepted. (The Univeristy is only charging me home fees not international).
I had also heard that SFE only funded people for up to three years of studies. I have already had that in my undergraduate degree so will the rules change to allow a fourth year (masters degree).


What are the application process forms likely to be like? I know it is potentially too early to answer this specific question, but for example will there be many forms and will we need other people to complete forms too. I mainly say this as I am nervous that applications will only start in the summer and I may need to send important paperwork back and forth and that ultimately the loan will come to me later than the course start date.

Any information you could share would be appreicated.

Kind regards,

Michael

Will the postgraduate loan be available for students who usually live in England, but will study at Ulster University (Northern Ireland) for their masters/postgraduate degree?

I am starting a Graduate Diploma in Law in October - part-time, distance learning so it will take me two years. It is my intention to progress to the Masters in Law - again part-time distance learning over two years. I work full-time and take home about £15k. Will I be able to/am I better off taking the loan up front and trying to invest some of it towards paying off the MA later - splitting the costs between the loan and my pay? Or should I pay for as much of the Diploma as possible from pay and seek a loan elsewhere - applying for the postgraduate loan only once I start the MA? I paid for my last MA out of pocket as I studied but degrees were much cheaper a few years ago! My BA was overseas so this would be my first experience of a student loan.
