How does one fund a masters degree?
Scroll to see replies
I'm worried about funding. I really need to way up the pros and cons of the masters thing. Hopefully, I will be able to receive some kind of university or research funding, but if that doesn't happen (it probably wont) I will take a year out and save up. I'd rather do that than take out another loan.

Get a part time job while doing your undergraduate degree, you could put it in a seperate bank account if you think you might be tempted to spend it. There you go, 3 years part time work should cover it.
This is probably what ill do then
. It hard to get funding or does that totally depend on what you want to do? And if so which things would you recieve more funding for? And can you get a student loan to help, I know you can get a max of four years sl but will that extend to masters degrees?
Sorry too many questions lol, I used to think it was free
(or at least no more expensive then a undergrad degree.)

Thought about working and saving up?
Thing is it's so expensive, and when you've just come out of university, are already in debt and wont find the best job straight away I would imagine it would be very hard to do. I wouldn't want to live with my parents again... my home towns the most boring place on earth and I don't think they would have enough money to support me, especailly as in principle a capable 22 year old should be supporting themselves.

Well, why not put the masters on the back burner for a while and go out to work for a bit? Might be a good idea to try and pay off your existing debt and make a start in the workplace. And there's really no hurry; if you enjoy doing academic stuff you can make it a lifetime pleasure. You can begin your PhD at 40 if you like........like.....erm.......someone I know.....erm......

(or at least no more expensive then a undergrad degree.)Depending on the subject, fees aren't too bad. A postgraduate degree in a Humanities subject such as English costs around £3,390 (2009/10) which isn't that bad.

(or at least no more expensive then a undergrad degree.)It is hard to get funding, however sometimes grants are available from departments but that would depend on the university. You can get a career development loan which may help.

I have seen some university also enable you to pay per credit. Does that mean per module or price of one credit times 20, 30. It could be an option.
