Banks Urged to Offer More Loans to Students for Online Postgraduate Courses

Online, May 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Following a recent press conference, the higher education minister pointed out that expanding student loans for Online postgraduate courses was not a possibility, and that banks are to improve the spread of loans available.

Additionally, the scarcity in funding options for Online postgraduate courses led several universities to consider offering private loans to support their students. In response to this, RDI, the distance learning specialists have introduced the concept of Alumni Discount for all their students studying for their degree with Anglia Ruskin University. Upon completion of their degree, if they choose to progress to any online postgraduate courses through RDI, the Alumni Discount entitles them to a 10% reduction in the cost of the tuition fee, whether they choose modular or full payment.

The initiative is great news for those students who consider furthering their studies, but cannot afford it, and could be the start of many interesting changes to take place in the postgraduate landscape.

Funding Online postgraduate courses can be a challenging task for students nowadays, as higher education minister discarded the possibility of a universal loans system.
