Help needed: Survey on financial support for international postgraduate students

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on my Master’s programme, and I’m exploring the potential of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending as a financial support option for international postgraduate students in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Basically, I would like to understand especially for the international demography how they manage their university financial needs (savings, part time work etc.) and whether a lack of access to credit in the UK has been a barrier to their financial health while studying.

Furthermore, I am seeking to understand how a P2P student focused enterprise might be able to bridge the day to day needs of these set of students who may have had to deal with emergencies with no clear way to resolve them before.

If you are an international postgraduate student studying in this area, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

The survey takes about 5 - 8 minutes to complete (10 questions only) and your responses will be kept anonymous and used solely for academic purposes: https://forms.office.com/e/Q3jMyemLSg

Thank you so much for your time and all the help.
