How are you paying for your course?

SamJL

Hi,

I'm hopefully starting an MSc in September, however it's dependent on getting approval from the bank for the money.

I'm curious how everyone else is paying for thier postgraduate degrees? Privatley funded, Parents, employers, banks etc?

Thanks

So I'll be in big time debt for the next 10yrs, hopefully it will all be worth it though!

Yep, it is. Speak to your bank, most banks will offer various types of student loans, the one I'm getting is this one:

That's specifically for professional degrees, but banks also offer other standard student loans :smile:

actually i am an intl. student and from what i have heard its difficult to get a visa if you don't show that you can cover your fees and expenses too.

You have an idea about this?
