dropping LLM award from LPC

I have just recently passed my dispute resolution resit, third time lucky. The only exam I have failed is my 4th elective, which I do not plan to resit.

I am aware I can drop the LLM and just graduate with the LPC if I have passed all the other required exams, but I am worried about how this will effect my funding.

For context, I started the LPC in September 2022 and my course technically finished in June 2023, I have just had to do resits since then and so I had paid the postgraduate loan to ULaw for my tuition in full whilst I was on the course. I have started making repayments for the masters loan as I earn over the threshold in my job, will I just continue to make the repayments as normal in line with my salary, or would SFE demand the full amount back at once?

Hi there,

Is the LPC qualification still a Masters qualification?

Thanks,
Ross

Hi, the LPC Postgraduate Diploma is not a Masters qualification, I completed the course last June but have had to resit two exams, so technically the loan was not overpaid because I didn't withdraw before the course finished.

All I want to know is whether I would have to repay the loan all at once or whether I would continue to pay it from my payslip as I have been for the past few months.
