And the good news doesn\u2019t end there for BU students considering further study \u2013 we\u2019ve got discounts<\/a> (some of these apply to staff and staff family members too) and scholarships<\/a>, including full fee waivers.<\/p>\n

More about the loan and who is eligible<\/strong><\/p>\n

The postgraduate loan is non-means tested, allowing students to borrow up to \u00a310,000 irrespective of the cost of their course. The loan will be available to those aged under 60 years old and will be paid directly to the student over three equal instalments. Students embarking on part-time study will be eligible for the loan, so long as the average annual intensity is 50% in each year (i.e. is delivered over two years) and will receive the loan split equally.<\/p>\n

English<\/strong> and EU (including EEA & Switzerland) domiciled students<\/strong> (not including Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland),<\/strong> who have normally been resident* in those countries for the last three years<\/strong>, studying a taught postgraduate course (full-time, part-time and distance learning)<\/strong>, including Master’s by Research<\/strong>, are eligible to receive the funding.<\/p>\n
