Details of two schemes you might be interested in using to fund your studies.
Prodigy Finance offers loans to students at top business schools, including the School of Management at the University of Bath.
Loans are available to students who are accepted into the full-time MBA programme (not the MBA executive route).
Apply through the Prodigy Finance website.
Declaration:
Prodigy Finance is one of many providers of finance. You are strongly advised to undertake your own due diligence and to check all terms and conditions before entering into any agreement with a loan or scholarship provider. An entity connected to the University of Bath School of Management is an investor in MBA Community Loans PLC, which provides the finance to fund the Prodigy Finance Loan Scheme. The University of Bath School of Management may therefore benefit from any lending under the scheme.
Postgraduate loans are available for all UK MBA students. You can find more information on the University’s website and the Government’s website.
How to pay in instalments and where to find information about other ways to pay.
Self-funding students can pay tuition fees in one or two instalments.
There are several options for paying fees.
Part-time students can pay their fees in full at the start of the programme, or over two years in four payments.
