Student Finance England – Master’s Loan (eligible UK-based applicants only) 

All University of Warwick Master’s programmes are eligible for a Master’s Loan from Student Finance England.

A Master’s Loan from Student Finance England (SFE) is a personal loan arrangement between the student and SFE. Funds are released directly to the student and are released after the student is enrolled onto the programme that they have selected on their SFE application. Students, therefore, must select the correct Master’s programme on their SFE application – failure to select the correct programme on your application may delay or prevent release of funds.

You must be eligible for Home Fees to qualify for Student Finance. Click here to check if you qualify for Home Fees. Please see the following conditions before applying for SFE. 

1. You must be pursuing a Master’s programme in order to qualify for student finance.  

2. You must complete the SFE application process before commencement of your studies.  

3. You must be residing in the UK for 3 or more years before commencement of the programme. 

4. You must provide a copy of your passport and must ensure that the name provided on the passport is used across all application forms with iheed, University of Warwick and Student Finance England.

3. You must provide iheed with your SFE Loan Summary Letter upon acceptance of your application by SFE. 

For SFE applicants, a reduced deposit of £500 is required to enrol onto a Master’s and is due before your SFE Loan is released to you – so please make arrangements to pay your deposit to confirm your place before your programme commences. Speak to your iheed Education Advisor for further details.
