Doctoral loan change of circumstances query

Hiya,

I'm currently on a full-time PhD course at the University of Stirling. I am unfortunately having to switch to part-time. I am just wondering how this affects the doctoral loan I have?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you

Hi there,

Has your university confirmed is this will increase your overall course length?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Not yet mate; still waiting to hear back from my request to change paths. I am essentially just wondering as to how the payments are affected.

Best wishes,
Rob

Thanks. We'd need to determine this based on your course length and how many years the course will now be. How many years have you studied so far and how many years was the course due to be? Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
Apologies in the belated; I was waiting for the answers from my university.
To answer:
I began this PhD in Oct., 2023; expected end, Aug., 2027.
This has now been altered to April, 2034. (Though I am evidently hopeful of completing long before then!)
Best wishes,
Rob
