Masters Mature Student Loan query

KittyS

I'm getting really confused - can someone explain...if I can get a student loan.

Mature student - self funded by BA Hons with the OU many moons ago.
I'd like to do a Masters in history/archaeology distance learning or part time or a BA in speech and language therapy full time.
Can I get a loan?  I am also have a disability.  Obviously at 56 I dont live with my parents and am single.

As long as you don't have an equivalent or higher qualification to master's level, you are under 60 so would qualify for a postgraduate loan.

Also bear in mind you can only apply for the postgrad loan once as far as I remember, but if you self-funded before for a BA, that shouldn't affect your application. Best of luck, hope you get it and enjoy your studies!

Thanks that is really helpful.  I kept going around in circles.
