Student Loans for Master's Degrees Now Live

Government help is available

The new student loan system for postgraduate master's degrees has now been launched. Low interest loans will now provide students in the UK with access to postgraduate university courses.

This is very good news indeed for any of our students who would like to go on to do our ground-breaking online MA in 3D animation.

What's this all about?
The government-backed loans, worth up to £10,000, are available from 2016-17 and will benefit students seeking to study at post-graduate level.   If you’re studying for two or more academic years, you’ll get up to £5,000 in your first year and the rest in your second year.

What subjects qualify?
Loans will be offered in any master's subject.

How old/young do you have to be?
It will only be available to students under 60 on the first day of the first academic year of your course.

Do you have to be British or live in the UK?
It's complicated. See the official page for who qualifies.

Does the money have to be repaid?
Yes, the loans must be repaid, concurrently with any undergraduate loans.
