Yes, loans without a co-applicant or guarantor are available for studying in both the UK and USA, but options differ by country.

- USA: Some private lenders offer student loans to international students without a co-signer, based on your admission and future earning potential. Federal student loans without a co-signer are generally reserved for US citizens and eligible non-citizens.
- UK: Government loans are typically not available to international students, but certain private lenders provide unsecured loans based on your university admission and projected earnings.

For a Master's in the USA, consider private international lenders that specialize in loans without a co-applicant. Your academic profile and future earning potential are key factors for eligibility.
