MSc loan by SFE

Hello,

I'm an EU national and I started an MSci - Integrated masters degree course in London in 2020 with an SFE loan. However, this month I learned that I received a 2:1 for my 3rd year and I'm not eligible to continue my last year, so instead I shall be graduating with a BSc degree from my university now.
My question is: Can I apply for an MSC program at another UK university and still obtain an SFE loan? (I have a pre-settled status in UK)

Hi there,

Is the other course going to be for 1 year only? Also what was the reason for you not being able to complete the course was it due to your grade? Thanks, Jason

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your message. The course is either 12 months full-time or 2 years part-time. I am torn between these options because the second one provides me with an opportunity to work or intern, so I can somehow support my subsistence. Yes, the single reason for not being able to complete the last year (the MSci part) is my grade of 2:1 as they require to have 1st (although as far as I know external candidates are accepted with a 2:1 grade).

I would be grateful for your input on my conundrum.

Kind regards,
Gus

Hi Gus,

Students who have received undergraduate loan support from SFE(i.e. tuition fee loans / loans for living costs) towards any of the following PG Master's course types are ineligible for a future PG Master's Loan from SLC unless they can demonstrate Compelling Personal Reasons for having not completed the previous course:

- Pre-registration PG master’s Healthcare courses
- Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses – only the ones leading to the award of a Master’s qualification
- Master’s of Architecture courses
- Integrated Master’s courses.

Thanks,
Claire
