Masters degree holder going for degree!

I don't really see the point in arguing with other posters about the situation, particularly when you've been given advice and a way for your friend to progress.

The requirement of getting into GDL is ANY degree even if it is Bsc Mathematics. I mean ANY. It will then in GDL proper that those 7 major courses of law will be done.

It is yes, but if you had actually read what I said, I referred to a QLD, not just any degree.

You have been asking for advice as to how to get into law for years, but have still done nothing about it. One wonders what all these random questions are intended to achieve?

The law degree/GDL has nothing to do with subject matter.

This thread is about student loan for someone who has HND and masters but in dire need of student loan to enable him ''fit in'' to employment market.

But people have explained very clearly that he isn't eligible for a student loan to top up his HND as he now has a higher qualification. Self funding is the only way forward.

Your friend will not get a student loan. But as he has a HND and Masters he stands a good chance for a CDL from a bank. HND to Degree are sometimes 1 year courses. He might find going into a bank with is qualifications and outlining the fact without the top-up he has no future. The fact he has completed a masters makes him a good bet for most banks.

There are only two banks who do this, the Coop and Barclays and they don't just hand them out.
The situation is quite complicated here and I am not sure if the "friend" would qualify for a CDL but even if they did it needs paying back as soon as the course is completed.
By the way, the bank don't care what qualifications the "friend" has. The course has to meet certain criteria and the "friend" has to have a reasonable credit history. It is a bank loan not a right.

hence why I used the word "might". I am more than aware they just don't hand them out. Also, banks do look at potential earnings after course has been completed. The "friend" was asking for options this is an option. Having been there and done it when wanting to undertake a masters course and repaying and now in a final year of a PhD it is an option to look at. As for complicated all those looking to do top-ups and further study and need funding all have levels of complexity. Another option for the "friend" is to speak directly to the post-graduate/student union at the University as some have funding streams for exactly this problem.
Actually, what grades and qualifications the person has, does impact the final outcome of the application along with credit history and potential employment.
A final option that could be looked at is sponsorship by a company to undertake the top-up, it might mean waiting a year whilst in a junior position at the company, especially if they are applying for "investor in people status".

All are options to get where the "friend" wants to be.

Most of this post is utter rubbish and means nothing.

as you are such a intelligent person would you like to quantify what is not rubbish?
May be then you can add to the conversation/discussion with a qualitative and quantitative arguement and imput?

as most people with any understanding would have contributed to the discussion, rather than an inept attempt of making someone who has an understanfing look like a fool.

Sorry, but who looks like a clown now?

For the purposes of the CDL the banks are ONLY concerned with whether it is on their list of qualifying courses. They do not care what the course is and do NOT take your future job prospects into consideration. If you were to apply for a normal bank loan then I suppose this is something they might consider. This might be relevant if you were funding professional exams say, project management as an example.
In order to have such a bank loan you would have to have a good credit history/job and possible produce evidence of your future prospects and ability to pay the loan off.
The CDL has quite specific rules set by government, not by the banks. I think it unlikely that the CDL will be available to top up a HND to a degree. The only way to find out is to apply and see what they say.

Sponsorship is not an option in this case as the questions raised by the OP clearly relate to a lack of job or opportunities.
The student union can help with finding sources of funding for current students and there are hardship funds but as the OP's friend is not currently a student then I don't think they would be eligible for any help.

I take it that English is not your first language as I can't really work out the meaning behind the remainder of your post. However, the bottom line is that this is not a traditional funding request and funding is a very complex area.
I advise students daily on post university funding options, as well as career and further study options so I think my contributions are useful. I don't like to see misinformation posted on here.
You are free to disagree, I honestly don't care.
