Applying for a loan whilst in uni

[LeeThr]

Right im currently looking at loans but they all seem to have the same criteria of "must not be in full-time education"
I am doing a full time course in university does this actually count as full time education?

[Ultuous]

It certainly used to if you were doing >'n' hours a week study!

bks!

I work part time on avaerage 30 hours a week and ill be getting full time hours (39) if not more whilst im off over the summer so wouldnt have any issue with the repayments, this could be the only thing thats going to trip me up.

[Ultuous]

How many hours a week is your course then? I'm woefully out of date, but I think the threshold for what used to be defined as 'full time' education was around 20ish hours!

[LeeThr]

18-19 hours.

[Ultuous]

A quick google suggests 12 hours is the threshold to be considered full time - sorry!

[LeeThr]

bks :/ might have to pop in to the bank and see if they can do anything.

Natwest used to do loans for students. See what they have on offer?

If you're doing a full time course, why don't you apply for student finance?

Ah sorry, just read third post.
