What if you had to repay student loans while still studying?

Part-time students might have to start repaying loans while still studying! That's after their new student loan scheme starts in 2012-13.

Part-time students will have to start repaying their student loans three years after they start a course, the government confirmed today. This means that in theory a part-time student might have to start repayments while still studying. However, that would only occur if the student's earnings had reached £21,000.

BIS has published full details this afternoon of the new loan scheme for part-time students, much of which had already been revealed.
