Hi there, You can apply without a confirmed university pr course. We advise when applying for funding to apply with the university/course of your choice. Thanks, Angela

Sorry I have an other question. In terms of payment of loan, if we get the job based on contract for example for 3 years and we pay back the loan, what will happen if our job contract runs out and we will no longer be able to pay back the loan . Can we stop the payment until we get job again ?

Hi there, Repayments are put in place when earning above the threshold. Thanks, Angela
