    Hi everyone! I've applied for a part time masters in Coleraine in September. I've just finished a year out of college and i'm 22. While doing my degree in the south I received full maintenance grant and top up grant.

    Was wondering if i'd be entitled to anything?
    Also do you get much tax back on your student fees if you apply for it?

    You only get a grant for a full time course

    I think that you get 20% taxback

    See here

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    According to studentfinance.ie

    They are available for NI but it has to be full time
