living cost financing

I will be studying for a master's degree. I am planning to apply for a Master's Loan. Can I apply for funding for living costs?

Hi there. You can apply for up to a maximum of £12,471 in 24/25 for the Postgraduate Masters Loan.

It's a contribution based loan to help with the costs of your studies, which is paid directly to you.

Postgraduate do not offer a specific Maintenance Loan or Tuition Fee. It's up to the students discretion how they want to use the Loan. Thanks, Leah.

Hello. Thanks for the answer. I understood that postgraduate students cannot apply for living cost/ Is that correct?
I have one more question. Student Funding has confirmed my Student Loan application. This will be paid in 6 payments over two years (I have a two-year course). I am very grateful for the support and help. I would like to ask. Can I somehow change the payment schedule? And how to do it? Reason. fees my first year of study £9,900 and fees my second year, Placement year, is only £1,530 (for the second year I have to pay in advance). So in the first year I will be short about £4000 and in the second year I will have more money than I need. I would be grateful for any advice on how to change the payment schedule.
Many thanks,
Tania
