LPC Funding

Hi, I am a applying for my LPC this September to take the next step in my legal career. I have shopped around and can see that the cheapest I can see the course for is £10,000 but do not allow for payments by monthly direct debits. Has anyone else found routes for funding or at least help with funding for the course? The LPC is not eligible for a student loan or government funding.
Any advice or routes people have taken is appreciated.

    I did mine part time, over two years. I worked full time over that period, stuck the fees on a credit card at the beginning of each term, and paid off the credit card before the beginning of the next term.



    I'm not sure I'd recommend that strategy - it was hard work! - but it was the only way I could cover living costs whilst studying.

    Many law schools and universities now offer LPCs that include a master’s qualification, meaning that you can get a postgraduate loan if you choose to study a LLM LPC.
