Personal loan for full-time study
So, I am currently in full-time employment. I am looking to study a full-time, two-year MSc but there is no option in Northern Ireland for post-grad student loans that can assist in maintenance/living expenses. I've never had a personal loan and have all credit paid off. Is it bad to apply for a personal loan, over a longer time period of say around 5-7 years, before I would start the masters if I ensure that I apply for a little extra to pay off the payments over the two years of study while not in employment?

You won't get a loan if you're planning to give up your job. And borrowing more in order to make repayments is a non starter.
Use your income and existing savings to fund the course.0 -
