Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Help on situation

Hi

I’m currently studying a masters, I’m in the first term and the masters isn’t what I thought it would be and so I’m thinking or quitting.
My question is if I quit how will that affect my postgraduate loan, will the amount be added to my student debt or will I have to pay it back straight away?
Will I be able to access the rest of the loan for another masters or will that be it?

Hi Jownzii,

Students can transfer between eligible postgraduate master's courses and remain eligible for PGL. This rule applies when the student either transfers:

•

to a different course at the same HE provider or

•

to a different course at a different HE provider

If you withdraw from the course then we will not fund you for another masters course, unless this was due to compelling personal reasons.

Any outstanding amount will be added to your balance.

Thanks

Catherine

Hi Catherine,

If I had to defer to the intake to September 2018 for a different course at a different HE provider, would I still be eligible for PGL?

Best regards,

Hi Jownzii,

If you resumed on the same course at the same University then your funding would not be affected, but if your changing course and university for you to receive the remaining funds you will need to provide Compelling Personal Reason evidence.

Thanks
