Which intake should I target given my budget and loan availability in UK/Ireland for a Master's/Postgraduate?
Target the September 2027 intake for your master's studies in Ireland, the UK, or the Netherlands. This intake offers the widest range of programs and gives you enough time to arrange finances, including loans.
- UK: The Postgraduate Master's Loan (up to £13,206 for 2026/27) is available if you are a UK national or have settled/pre-settled status. This loan can help cover tuition and living costs.
- Ireland & Netherlands: Tuition fees for non-EU students are typically €10,000 - €20,000/year, with living expenses of €9,600 - €14,400/year. Financial aid is limited, but some scholarships exist.
If loan availability is a key factor, the UK is likely the most feasible option. For Ireland or the Netherlands, be prepared for higher out-of-pocket costs and fewer financial aid opportunities.
