What's my loan plan?
Student loans in England are categorised into different 'plans' based on when you started university. Plan 2 loans are for those who began their course from September 2012 onwards, while Plan 3 is for postgraduate loans. The interest cap specifically applies to these plans, so knowing yours helps you understand the impact.
