Student Finance and study gap

I want to get an admission as MSc Instrumentation and control system Engineering. But I have a long study gap because of industrial job. Also I don't have enough money. So please suggest me regarding long study gap and financial help to get an admission and continue my study. Thanks.

Hi there,

Please can you provide some more information? We'll need to know the following in order to better advise you.

Have you previously studied? If so, how many years did you study and were any qualifications gained?
Will you be starting the new course from year one, or continuing on a previous course?
Which university will your new course be studied with, when will this start and is the course full time or part time?
Have you previously received any funding from Student Finance England (SFE)?

Thanks,

Hi there,

As you do not have an equal level qualification to the masters, you should be eligible to apply for the Postgraduate Loan as long as you meet all other eligibility criteria. I have provided a link that will help you further with this.
