Loans for students and interest rates and fees to look out for
Finding loans for students with interest rates and fees that are not astronomical isn’t easy, particularly if you’re restricted to personal loans, but they are out there. The best place to start looking is the Student Loan Company’s website, but you may have to check out loans available through high street banks and other mainstream lenders.

Repaying Student loan
No matter how much you take out with a student loan, you’ll only begin to pay the money back when you start earning. Repayments are calculated as 9% of your gross income and they’re taken directly from your salary so there’s no admin involved. Check out studentloanrepayment.co.uk if you have any specific questions about repaying the loan.
Masters degree
At the moment you can’t get a student loan from the government backed scheme if you’re studying for a Masters Degree. This will either put you off the idea of continuing your studies or make you go out and get a personal loan. Assuming you already have a student bank account from one of the major high street lenders, you should make them your first port of call as you’re more likely to get a loan from a bank who has some experience of your financial dealings.
