What a load of nonsense some people talk!!
The HSBC do a graduate loan for, wait for it, graduates. This loan is anything upto £10,000 at a preferential interest rate.
As 2WingsOnMyWagon says, they then do a Professional Studies Loan for people studying for specfied careers. These include Medicine, Law and Commercial Pilot, (again, mostly graduates).
I don't think it's a requirement to have a degree but you'll be lucky to get one without a degree and/or security. If you can get a loan, they do upto £15,000 unsecured but anything more than that will need securing.
Think about it, if you were the bank and a kid with some GCSE's and one A-Level comes in who doesn't bank with you and asks for £45,000, you'd drop kick them back out the door. Without a degree and no security you simply do not have the earnings potential to pay back a loan this size if everything goes t**s up.
I think someone needs a reality check!!
