With a student loan from Prodigy Finance, you can start your studies abroad now and repay the loan up to 20 years after graduation. No deposit and no security required on the loan. Read the details below.
Why study abroad?
The data shows that after completing an international Master’s degree, you’ll be able to apply for higher positions with higher salaries in your chosen career. Having found a job in the UK after training, you will get paid in the currency of these countries, again increasing your earning potential.

The challenge of funding an international degree
Saving money to pay for studying abroad usually takes a long time, especially with the burden of foreign currency rates. Or you might be able to take a loan from a local bank, but would need to put up some collateral (like a house) or a guarantor, and not everyone has access to those. In some cases, people have to sell their property to cover tuition costs, but this significantly reduces the chances of getting a student visa (since you must have ties to your home country, and property is one of them).
Student loans funded by the governments or banks in your country of study are usually available only for domestic citizens and permanent residents, since foreign visitors have not built up credit there.
How Prodigy Finance can help
Prodigy Finance is an educational loan provider founded on the philosophy that funding shouldn’t be a barrier to education. Unlike banks and other credit institutions, Prodigy Finance does not require collateral, co-signers or guarantors, a deposit or security. This is because they lend based on your future potential, rather than just on your current circumstances. And there are no up front costs, so you can study now, and pay later. You will have a grace period of six months after graduation to find a job before you begin repaying the loan.
