Available Support
You can apply for a loan as a contribution towards your course and living costs. Postgraduate loans have to be paid back. If you have a disability, including a mental-health condition or specific learning difficulty, such as dyslexia or dyspraxia, you might be able to get Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs). DSAs don’t have to be paid back. Postgraduate students can apply for DSAs even if they aren’t eligible for a Postgraduate Loan.

Eligibility
Whether you're eligible for a postgraduate loan depends on:

• if you've studied on a postgraduate course before
• your course
• your age
• your nationality or residency status

You can find the full eligibility criteria on the gov.uk website.

If you’re studying full time the course can last for one or two years. If you’re studying part-time you can study for two years (for the equivalent one-year full-time course) or up to four years (for the equivalent two-year full-time course).

EU students, who don’t normally live in England, will also be able to get a Postgraduate Loan for a Master’s course at an English university or college.

Applications
Here are our top tips:

• Visit gov.uk/studentfinance to make your application
• You do not need to have a guaranteed place on the course to apply for a postgraduate loan. If your plans change before you are due to start, you can easily cancel or amend your application
• You should make your application as early as you can to ensure your assessment is made by the time you start the course
• You’ll only have to apply once, even if your course is longer than one year.
