I really want to avoid a postgrad loan! so where else can I look for some funding? After saving so far and for the next few months, I will have 5k saved leaving me with 1k to find! Note, I am not in line for any scholarships. Thanks. |

i'm in a similar position mate been accepted for a post grad course but don't have the funds to pay for fees - and can't really afford to get into any more debt by taking out loans |

Not sure what your job is at the moment but if you took up another job as well, you could probably make a grand in a few months working 3 nights a week in a bar/pub. |

only option risk free option is to find money doing work outside of the job u already have. advertise yourself as a handyman: building flat pack, helping people move, washing cars. Making money is a hard hustle. Graduated last year and I've been unemployed for the last 4 months trying to find a job I can get what I'm worth. |

plenty of jobs in supermarkets and the like. money is money and getting out of the house and working socially will put you in good spirits. |

Can try an application to the arts and humanities council depending on the course you're doing. They do give out funding. |

spot on DDD, im in such a better mood these days cause i found a job, i had that attitude that i'm not gonna work until i find something that 'im worth' as yellowebear says but our economic conditions you gotta settle with anything you can get.. before that i was unemployed/doing nothing for 4 months with no social life,etc.. was pure hell |

i had some money saved up from my call centre temp work i did after leaving uni. that has run out though so life is now not all that great. i've been working on a building my own "web design n marketing consultancy" company too. built the website after learning flash, dreamweaver and photoshop. just did my first flyer for a band. not much of an acheivement in 4 months though, i need to get my shit sorted! I'm gonna join up to a work abroad programme tomorrow. its one i found that u don't have to teach english and can get some business/management skills. £200 fee which seems pretty reasonable in comparison to the other ones i've seen. when i come back from that i'll be one year behind the grads i came ou of uni with and competing with new grads. hopefully this experience will be seen in good light though. most importantly i want to have experiences in my life and not just work until i die. hopefully go to japan or china! gonna be scary as fuck but i guess that's the point, i'm not very mature, hopefuly this will fix me up. |

You can always delay a year @ postgrad level if necessary (before or mid-course), There would probably be some leeway in staggering payments as well. |
