[QUOTE="Bread, post: 231979, member: 33582"] Hey there, some things to consider. As a reference, the London Living Wage (voluntary minimum wage offered by companies in London) currently sits at around £29k. Also, do bear in mind that not all GDL/SQE courses are eligible for a masters loan. If you did get a TC, i think it would be unlikely that you would also get a masters loan, bc the firm would pay for your tuition. If instead you didn't get TC sponsorship, you'd likely be able to get a loan, but you would also have to pay for the course yourself. Imo, the most desirable outcome is obtaining firm sponsorship for the GDL, do it at home (not spending the living grant), do the SQE in London sponsored by the firm, and pool the combined living grants for your second year.
