maintenance loan withdrawn overpayment

Hi last month I withdrew from my pgce course which is masters level. Since withdrawal I have had an overpayment letter (normal). As I received a payment.

As I am wanting to do my doctoral application and as this is for a doctorate which is different level to pgce undergraduate maintenance payment this overpayment wouldn’t affect my doctoral would it?

Hi Oliver,

when are you looking to start the Doctoral? Have you repaid the overpayment back yet?

Thanks,

Hi the doctoral is staring this week and overpayment hasn’t been paid yet as I will either set up a payment plan monthly but I thought with it being a different level it wouldn’t matter and also going back into full time study would hold it off.
Hi Oliverbradley,

An undergraduate overpayment won't affect your eligibility to apply for a Postgraduate Doctoral Loan.

Thanks,
Calum
