Online Masters at York, and eligibility for Student Finance

Hi all, first time posting.

I am looking at an online Masters of Computer Science at York. I am wondering about how the student finance for this would work. I finished my undergraduate degree in 2020, and want to know how this normally works. The York website does not give alot of information about how this works. Is this something that is viable?

Do you know how the payment would work for a Masters? I think I understand that this would be paid via card but is it usually that is student finance agree to pay they would send the money via me and I would pay directly? I am in the UK and I am English. I am currently 26 (about to turn 27). Any thoughts appreciated!

Hi there,

The Masters Loan is paid directly to yourself, that's right. For more information on how the loan works please see here: https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan/what-youll-get

When does your course begin?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Thank you for getting back in touch with me. I think I am actually going to try Uni of Bath, their next intake is in September. Do you know if I would have to apply to Bath first or for student finance first? I am assuming to the university first.

Hi there,

You can apply to us before you apply to the university however our postgraduate applications are not open as of yet. They are due to open this month but we do not know the exact date. If you follow us on social media as soon as the applications are launched we would let you know on this platform.

Thanks, Drew
