UK Government Postgraduate Loan

For UK residents, the government offers a loan (approx £12,000) to help with course fees and living costs. It's not means-tested.

University Scholarships

Almost every university offers alumni discounts (often 10-20%) and merit-based scholarships. Check the university website early—deadlines are often months before the course starts.

Charities and Trusts

There are thousands of small charities in the UK that offer grants for education. The 'Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding' is a great resource.

Part-Time Work

Many Master's students work part-time. Look for on-campus jobs like Student Ambassador roles, which are flexible around your studies.
