    Yes, the course I am looking at gives GBC with BPS. This then means I am able to apply for the funded training programme (phd) to become a chartered educational psychologist.

    I thought GBC with BPS would be an entry requirement for master's.


    As a randonm example, Manchester University gives some scholarships to part-time students.

    No, my post was not mean to be sarcastic.

    Oddly enough, the skills of stating explicitly the parameters to a problem and so helping people to give relevant responses are very closely related to the skills required for success at postgraduate study. Perhaps you could use this on-line encounter as a learning experience.

    Hi OP :) First, congrats on joining the Crazy Club! No, I'm kidding = postgrad study is so interesting! I did my MA (£3500 fee) just in two installments from savings. Doing my PhD now, with no funding - drastically having to learn moneysaving ways! Eg, utilising all the high interest bank accounts etc.

    I know you mentioned your credit rating, but I obviously don't know what your level is. Would you be able to get a 0% credit card, for 36 months or as close as possible? That's how I'm considering paying my next two years of fees - it means I can pay it off as and when I have the money to, even though I might not have it up front. As long as you pay it all off with a month in hand at the end, I think it's a good option. :)
