I started an MBA but due to illness couldn't complete it - it too was funded by the employer. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Management.

Will you be using your diploma as credit towards your MA?

It depends on the policy of the university. But if you do then you wouldn’t be eligible for a postgraduate loan. The PGL is only available if you’re studying a full 180 credit masters not if you’re topping up from a pgcert/pgdip to a masters.

Okay - that wasn't my plan to top up as its a completely different course - so otherwise that is okay? Also as Art Therapy is a part of the HCPC are there any other avenues for funding?

Hi there,
If you studied a Postgraduate Loan that you did not get a qualification and it was funded by your employer and not us then you should be eligible for funding from us.
Thanks, Drew
