Last week we published our response to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills’ consultation on support for postgraduate study. Plans for £25,000 loans were unveiled in this year’s budget, following the announcement of £10,000 loans for taught master’s students in last December’s Autumn Statement.
Some of our comments have since appeared in a round-up of sector responses in a story in Times Higher Education. To read the story visit here.
