What the petition asks
Increase support loans for Masters degrees making them more affordable for everyone who wants to do one to further their career. Masters degrees are currently unaffordable without familial support or working unreasonable hours whiles studying a postgraduate degree.
Funding should be increased to atleast £17000 allowing the payment of tuition fees as well as supporting students with the cost of living. Currently due to their unaffordablity masters degrees are only really open to the upper echelons of society and no those from middle to low income family's.
