    I did my course in the UK and I got the normal grant that people get from the VEC/ County Council here. You're assessed the same as if you were living away from your home catchement area in Ireland. You wont get the student loan that the Uni students in England get, but I wouldnt want it anyway! its a £20000 burden when you finish, mind you, you dont have to pay a cent till you get a job over a certain salary and even then its not a huge amount.

    I'm looking at doing a masters course in either London Met or Sheffield University. I read today in the Postgrad 2011 booklet that we are treated the same as English students when studying there. Does this mean that we can get the same loan as English students? My course fee's would be around the £7k mark for one year.

    There is no loan system for postgraduate study in the UK - everyone has to source funding themselves (exception is if you're doing teacher training). The loans system you're thinking of is for undergraduate study only.

    Some courses offer bursaries, normally partial or full fee waiver, should be info on the university websites. There's also AHRC and ESRC funding that'll cover fees, but it's dependent on the course/university.

    Might help:
