If you can't get funding you might be eligible for a career development loan. I got one to pay for my tuition fees and some of the accommodation. I could not wait 3 years because I’ve got no idea how I’ll feel by then and a masters is only 1 year long, I wouldn’t want to prolong it to 4!

It's too late the courses have started.

This forum is for master students! You need to use the PhD forum.

You could also contact research councils/institutes to see if they might offer any funding.

for eg - http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/ , http://www.nrp.org.uk/cms.php?pageid=1 and http://www.sgm.ac.uk/

Type automobile engneering and Australia into google.

There's also the link to the left (find a masters .com).

You can still use the doctor once married.

Hattie does the bank take into account how much someone has when deciding if they can pay the loan back?

Hi thanks for the advice. I suspected that might be the case...if so hopefully I'll be able to secure holiday work.

Thanks for the advice.

Sleepyhead no city is completely safe, so I should worry about having a lock on my door.

On another forum someone told me her friend didn't get a CDL because she has bad credit history.

My advisor told me the earliest you apply the better. Your background/accent wouldn't better. It's purely based on proof you can fulfil their requirements, experience, how interested in the subject area you are....like for a first degree.

I got an unconditional offer and applied a while ago but haven't heard anything... :S

Thanks for the info chrisrolinski. I will look for work straight away after I start my masters so I will be able to start paying off the CDL once my course ends.

You shouldn't be held back because of your colour blindness. Surely there can be alterations made to suit you (like using a different dye for an assay or changing the colours in a program). I don't much about protein enginnering but it would unfair if you couldn't do a PhD in it just because you're colour blind. Contact the DSA (which helped me with my dyslexia) to see if they can offer any support such as special equipment.
