Am I eligible for a post-graduate masters loan?

Hi, previously I was scheduled to study an integrated master's degree but in June I found out that I had narrowly missed the grade I needed to continue to the fourth year and instead graduated with a bachelor's degree. I am about to apply for a MSc by research degree and I need to get a post-graduate master's loan. Everyone I speak to has opposing opinions on whether I will be able to get one. Am I eligible?

Hi James, had you studied the full four years of the integrated masters or did you complete the 3 year course instead? Thanks, Jason

Thank you. If you've not studied a postgraduate course before and only done the three year bachelor degree then you'd be able to make an application for this. When does your course begin? Thanks, Jason

Thanks Jason, that's what I was hoping to hear. I'm aiming to start in January, about to hand my application in.

Thank you. Applications are taking 6-8 weeks so I would advise doing this as soon as you can. Thanks, Jason
