Postgraduate Doctoral Student loan
Applied and been given a Postgraduate Doctoral loan. In the online information it says that the loan will be paid in 3 instalments of 33%, 33% and 34% each year.
My information received with the loan confirmation letter says that mine will be paid over 4 years?
Just wondered if anyone could explain why?
Thanks

Hi Alina,
Can you please clarify what you're unsure about? Are you asking why the loan is paid over 4 years?
Thanks, Graeme
Yes. In the What you get paid" section. https://www.gov.uk/doctoral-loan/what-you-get on the government site it states that it will be paid over three years. I just wondered why mine said 4 years.
Not complaining, just wondered why it was different from the information.
Thanks
Sorry the pic didn't come out properly and is too small

Hi Alina,
The only reason we would pay the loan over 4 years is if the course is 4 years long. Have you only applied for a 3 year course?
Thanks, Drew
