This website states that in order to receive a postgraduate loan:
The university you’re studying at must be in the UK and either:
• publicly funded (paid for by the government), or
• privately funded but have degree awarding powers
I wish to study for a part-time MSc in Nutritional Therapy at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York. This course is not listed in 'find a masters' but is validated by Middlesex University, QAA reviewed and accredited by the NTEC (learning provider registration number is 2226).
My question is - will the course be eligible for a postgraduate loan in 2016/1,7 as this will affect my decision as to whether to apply or not? The college doesn't think it will be covered but I think it would be discriminatory not to award funding when the students receive an award from a University. I am confused by the term 'degree awarding powers.'
I am aware of the MSc at Worcester University but can't travel that far on a part-time basis.
Many thanks for your views.
