Where did everyone go to university? - deepdigger - 12th June 2005 Quite! To me its a bit like pulling the ladder up after you've got where you wanted to go! These people have benefitted from the old grant system and got a free university education but now its someonelses turn they are saying "No! You have to pay!" Stinks!! deep Where did everyone go to university? - Maltaire - 15th June 2005 Interesting... and convenient you can take a loan and then you can say, that you don`t earn enough to pay it back and they have to wait Students in Poland can dream about such rules. One year or two after finish university you have to start paying. Nobody cares how much you earn and if you have any job. That`s your problem Where did everyone go to university? - the invisible man - 16th June 2005 Those rules of course only apply to the official student loan, which unles yuo or your parents are very well off is about 3 grand a year. Thus you owe about 9 grand after a degree course. You may or may not have to pay fees of about a grand a year as well. This is all changing for new students and unis can now charge what are euphemistically called "top up" fees. However, in reality most students end up borrowing over and above the official sturdent loan, from banks or on credit cards. True this is probably unwise, but they are usually getting desperate. These borrowing have to be paid off at once at commercial rates. Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably. Where did everyone go to university? - lucy78green - 17th June 2005 And as I found for post-grads there are no student loans just "career development loans" which the banks expect you to start paying off three months after your course finishes. I personally didn't decide to apply for my masters until I'd missed the funding deadline as I was going to do it the following year and changed my mind, but many of my classmates found it very difficult to get a grant for an archaeology related masters, I think they'd rather give out money for more "useful" subjects.

Was only introduced last year so I don't think many people know about it yet. Is better than their research grants because you don't have to prove you're going to carry out some ground-breaking research, just that'll improve your job prospects. Of course, you do have to make the deadlines... ![]() |
