Going back to do a Postgraduate --- Fees?

dubhdara3

Hi all
I know that there have been a few people already asking about funding for Postgraduates, but I'm not sure of my situation is the same.
I graduated in 2006, and since 2007 I have been working in Northern Ireland (& paying UK National Insurance, instead of Irish Tax).
I have recently decided that I would like to go back to do a Postgraduate course in a Business based Subject.
Does anyone know, what kind if any funding is available, as I will have to leave my job to do this?
And because I have been paying National Insurance, am I eligible to apply for any sort of student loan in the North?

Have funded some business proposals, depending on the subject matter/approach

Your best bet is to contact University departments and research institutes independently. Many advertise supervisor-defined topics with funding and invite applications.

I am not sure if there is an independent funding body that deals with business like IRCHSS/IRCSET

If it is a taught postgrad is some are HEA cofunded. This means you only have to pay 1700 yo yos. Have a look at the course information or the HEA webpages.

Sorry, I misread your post - wont help you if you are looking for a taught course.

You might find some tender offers for MLitt projects if you decide to go that route
