Can I use the remainder of my postgraduate loan to do a Master's degree?
I'm 2 years into my PhD and I've realised that this isn't what I want to do any more. I jumped straight from undergrad to this, and I need a Master's degree to change career direction. I have £10,000 left of the loan taken for my PhD. Can I use the remainder of my money on a Master's course?
Transitioning from a PhD program to pursue a Master's degree in a different field can be a significant decision. Whether you can use the remaining £10,000 of your PhD loan for a Master's course depends on loan terms and institution policies. It's wise to consult your loan provider for guidance tailored to your situation. Remember, it's never too late to align your academic path with your interests and career goals.
