I have been offered a place on a Creative Writing MA course and I'm desperate to take it up. However, as I am 65 I can't get a Student loan nor can I get a CDL. The course costs £5,600 over two years taken in six termly payments and I simply cannot afford it. I've tried to get a part time job but, as I have Parkinson's disease, a lot of jobs are beyond my scope. I would like some form of deferred payment as in 15 months time a pension will come on stream. Ideas anyone?

Why not start the degree in 2 years' time when you are in receipt of the pension?0
