Dear all,

Few days ago I received an offer for a PhD in economics in UK. But (still) no funding opportunity.. I suppose, many of us have got such a problem.

I have checked some scholarships and charities, but my question is about a student loan. I am not a UK citizen (but a EU one) - is there a possibility to receive a loan in UK while not being a British resident (the banks of my home country do not offer a loan for a postgraduate study).

Further, I have also heard about peer to peer credits - do you think that this could be a reasonable alternative (if at all)?

Thanks you much.
