Finance for Masters

Misssonite

I grew up in Scotland but have been working down in england for the last 3 years nearly. I need to pay £5,500 fees for my masters in songwriting so i can teach and can't seem to get any funding. Do you know of any?

I have not received funding for a degree in the past.
I do not have savings as can only work part time due to disability/chronic fatigue. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

The only options are career development loans or savings.... There aren't any loans for postgrad degrees except for some medical ones or teacher training. I'm not sure I follow how a masters in songwriting is required for teaching though, but I don't know much about performing arts. I assume this must be Bath Spa? They have a lot of relevant info on their website:

In general, funding a postgrad degree ends up being harder than getting a place.... There aren't many options, particularly for courses like this which don't easily fall under research council remits..... Sorry....
