Undertaking a Masters in 2015 - Student?

Hi,

Next September (2015) after my PGCE, I am going to be undertaking a masters.

I know a masters is treated differently to do a PGCE and undergraduate degree and just wanted to know if I would still be classed as a student when it comes to council tax etc?

Kindest Regards.

    As long as the university classifies it as full time study then yes, you'll be eligible for CT discount. Without knowing what your 'etc.' covers it's difficult to say whether your student status will apply, but it's pretty likely that it will - for example, when I did my Masters in 2010-11 I got student fares on the buses.
