Funding for postgraduate courses works differently to undergraduate funding. You apply for one loan, which is a contribution to your tuition fees and living costs. 

Some postgraduate teacher training, health and social care courses are funded differently, and are funded in the same way as undergraduate courses. This means you could be eligible for a tuition fee loan and a maintenance loan.

Unlike undergraduate courses, there is no government limit on postgraduate course fees, so they can vary. Many students will need to supplement their postgraduate student loans with: 

  • Savings 
  • Part-time work 
  • Grants, scholarships and bursaries 

You can use tools like Blackbullion to create a budget for your studies. 

Additional funding from Student Finance

You can apply for Disabled Student’s Allowance if you are studying a postgraduate course. But you will not be eligible for the: 

  • Adult Dependants’ Grant, 
  • Childcare Grant,  
  • or Parents’ Learning Allowance.
