Professional and Career Development Loans
A Professional and Career Development Loan could help you pay for learning that enhances your job skills or career prospects. It’s a bank loan, so you’ll have to pay it back once you’ve left your course. However, you don’t pay interest for the period when you’re in learning. Please visit the Professional and Career Development Loans website for further details.
Bank loans
UK residents studying on the three MSc programmes qualify for bank loans at advantageous rates.
