HELP!...Undertaking Masters study...funding/loan advice wanted!!

EMrob

Hi!

I've just graduated in Law and have in the last few weeks decided instead of going ahead to do the Legal Practice Course to undertake a Masters programme.

I have no savings to pay for the fees of the course so need all the advice I can get to sort out funding. And if the only option is take a loan...what do I need to look out for and which bank offers the best deal? I will be living at home with my parents during the study so I only need to get the money together for the fees alone.

Thanks.

unfortunately, there's not much funding out there for masters (maybe there should be a sticky about it as it comes up a lot!) - your best bet is probably a career development loan, with a part time job, or a year out to save up first. sorry!

Have you had a look at the Prospects website, here's the link to all things postgrad funding-related.

career development loan. no doubt law will be more expensive.
Disabled students allowance is possible assuming you meet disability criteria. CDL let you have up to £8k for the course including fees and/or living/resource costs.
