Hey everyone! Got in MSc finance at UCL for the Sep 2026 intake.
Need guidance with a few things if you anyone could:

1. I’m looking to take a student loan to meet the tuition fee and living expenses and will try to work part time to figure things out on the living expenses part, coming from a low income household this puts a lot of financial burden and stress and the point of getting no opportunities to work in the field and going back with the all the financial stress is eating me alive

2. Realistically how are the job opportunities (though heard they’re pretty bad) been having a mixed reaction lately, seeing students say it depends how well you network and stuff, would it be possible to land a job in Finance or would be bleak

3. I couldn’t apply to scholarships this year since I started the process late, i still have the option to apply for next year while filling all the max scholarships i have but at the same time trying to get practical exposure to corporate finance during this year, the fact that i might miss out on this opportunity is stressing me out!

If anyone could help out with these would be great!
Thank you!
