If you are ordinarily resident in England, or a student from a European Union (EU) country studying in England, apply to Student Finance England. If you are ordinarily resident in Wales, or a student from an EU country studying in Wales, apply to Student Finance Wales. Students ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland (or Scotland) are not eligible for a doctoral loan. The eligibility and residency rules are exactly the same as those for the postgradaute loans for masters courses.
