Rejected petition Raise the amount of tuition loan SFNI to cover Master's courses.
To force Student Finance NI to raise the amount to tuition fee loan to cover the cost of a Masters Course in Northern Ireland, it currently only covers £5500 while masters courses are >£6000.
More details
Masters Students aren't entitled to a maintenance loan either making it incredibly difficult to complete one as students coming straight from undergraduate won't have savings and therefore can't even afford the cost of the course itself,.
