A Postgraduate Doctoral Loan can help with course fees and living costs while you study a postgraduate doctoral course, such as a PhD.
Theres different funding if you normally live in Wales. Moving somewhere to study does not count as normally living there.
You can also get extra support if you have a disability.
You will not be eligible for an Adult Dependants Grant, a Childcare Grant or Parents Learning Allowance from Student Finance if youre studying a doctoral course.

When you repay your loan
Youll have to start repaying your loan when your income is over a certain amount (the threshold amount).
Youll be charged interest from the day you get the first payment.
