Professional trainee loan

You can apply for one of these loans if you're studying full-time to become one of the following:

You can apply if you're still waiting to hear about your place on your course.

You don't need to make any repayments while you're studying, plus you can:

• Borrow up to £20,000 - up to £25,000 if you're studying full-time for a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Vocational Course (BVC)
• Take your loan in stages - in one lump sum or in installments to save interest
• Postpone repayments - for up to six months after you finish your course (the length of repayment holiday is dependent on the course taken and your particular circumstances. For more details, please speak to a graduate manager.)
• Spread the cost - with up to 10 years to repay your loan (the total term of the loan, beginning from the first drawdown date must not be more than ten years.)
• Choose the interest type that suits you - fixed or variable rate

There are no arrangement or administration fees to pay. If you're studying part-time for a GDL, LPC or BVC, you can borrow up to the cost of your course fees. An early repayment fee may apply.

You don't need to bank with us to apply, but in order to take out the loan you'll need to open and maintain your main banking relationship with us.

To apply for a loan as an undergraduate, you must be in at least your second year of full-time study.
