Postgraduate Loans

Postgraduate Funding

You may be eligible for a postgraduate loan if you:

• are studying a taught or research Master's course - please visit www.gov.uk/masters-loan for further information
• are under 60 years old at the start of the first academic year of your course, and
• normally live in England.

If you live in Wales, please visit Postgraduate finance | Student Finance Wales for information about funding available to you.

It is important that you understand that funding works differently at postgraduate level.

For all postgraduate loans, any funding is paid directly to you, and you are responsible for making payment to the University for your tuition fees.    

If you are in receipt of a postgraduate loan but do not use it to pay your tuition fees, your academic provisions may be withdrawn and you will still be liable for any unpaid tuition fees and your postgraduate loan.
