I recently graduated and shortly after I gave birth to my son. I am currently on maternity leave on maternity allowance. I would like to start a master degree using funding from SLC (this yr). The course commences just as my maternity allowance ends. I will be using the full student funding to pay for the course. Essentially what i am asking is how will i financially provide for my son and I? Are there any financial aid for my situation. In UK.

A postgraduate student loan won't be enough to cover the cost of your tuition fees and living costs. As a parent, you might be able to claim universal credit though. Your university may also have some financial support, too, though I wouldn't bank on this.

Where is the child's father, and is he contributing maintenance?

I just wanted to know whether I would be entitled to anything to help financially or rather do part-time course and also work part time? And yes the father is contributing maintenance.
