Professional and Career Development Loans
You can apply for a CDL if you live or intend to train in the UK and plan to use that training for work in the UK or elsewhere in the EU or European Economic Area (EEA). In practice, if you require a work permit in order to work in the UK or EU after graduation, you are very unlikely to qualify for a Career Development Loan.
The Career Development Loan Scheme is run in partnership with the UK Department of Education and Employment and is available from the following banks:
- Barclays Bank
- Clydesdale Bank
- Co-operative Bank
- The Royal Bank of Scotland
For further information about the scheme, please visit the UK government's web pages on career development loans.

Our web pages contain the latest details on the programme, but you can also download our MBA brochure.
