A report has suggested that it is likely that British students considering taking MBA courses in the UK will find it increasingly hard to find loans to cover the cost of their post-graduate studies.
According to a report in the Financial Times, the appeal of MBA courses in the US had recently been increasing among British students, thanks to the weak dollar.
However, the paper has now learnt that the credit crunch has dramatically reduced the number of student loans available for those considering such post-graduate courses.
It pointed to research carried out by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators that showed that 50 lenders have suspended their post-graduate student loan deals.
“The cost of loan repayment is particularly high for students from outside the US who apply for loans from US institutions,” the paper explained.
“This is because credit references are not required and also the lenders find it harder to track down students on graduation if they return to their home countries.”
As a result, a British student looking for a post-graduate student loan in the US can expect to have to pay interest of around seven per cent.
With US MBA courses typically costing around $150,000 (£75,000) to complete, the rising price of loans could put many British students off, even though they know they will be able to secure high-paying jobs after graduation.
