I'm getting conflicting information from student finance. Do they give out tuitoin fee loans to cover the tuition fee of a PhD course? I had funding for a BA, and I have done an MPhil where I did not apply for funding.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks (up)

This might help.

Many of us did or are doing PhDs with non-repayable bursaries or stipends. Have you not looked into funding?

What funding you can get will depend upon which country is your country of residence or birth. Check with your government education department.

In the UK, you can obtain funding from a research council, covering fees and living costs. If a PhD position is advertised, the University has normally already obtained funding and is looking for a potential student or candidate to fill the place.

Take a look at:
as suggested above. Also take a look at my blog, where I list the funding council websites:
You can propose a PhD programme and look for a University-based supervisor yourself, however, if you fail to obtain funding you're looking at a bill in the UK of £50,000 ($75,000) upwards (University fees plus your own living costs) to survive the minimum three years.

I think you've mis-understood the OPs question. Do not do this if you can possibly avoid it!!!
