Hello!
I'm starting this year as a EU student studying in London.
I'm looking for options to finance my living costs during my studies and wanted to ask you about what possibilities there would be?

Are there any grants for EU students or would I need to get a loan from a bank in the uk? If so, could you name me please banks that offers loans for students which doesn't require a income.

thank you for your help!

best wishes
Rene

    Only from the EU country you are coming from.

    You are not likely to get a loan from any UK lender with no residency status, no income and no means of repaying it. This is something you need to explore with your own country's student financing system.

    I have to ask, did your university or college arranging this not indicate how you may arrange living expenses during your application? You could approach the Student advisory services there.

    You are very likely to have to get a job, and pay your own way unless the Uni can offer advice.
