Are student loans available?
The formal acceptance letter from the Dean of Students will include information on government work-study and loans programs, as well as private loans for foreign citizens. If you have only a small debt from financing your undergraduate studies, securing loans may be an option for you. More information is available at the Student Loan Administration.
The Diploma In Audio Engineering, the Diploma In Film Making and the Bachelor of Recording Arts Degree programs are approved by the Ministry of Education for student loans and allowances.
