Next year I am moving away to a new town to do an MA. I will have to try and find work since you can't get grants etc for MAs. I have some contacts but I am worried what will happen if I simply can't find work. Will I be able to sign on to get JSA until I can find work? The problem is that I will have technically, given up my previous job in order to move, voluntarily. Does this mean they won't let me claim?

By MA do you mean Master of Arts as in university? If so, students are not entitled to JSA. My brother did an MA in English at Glasgow uni and got student loans.

OKay thanks. I wasn't sure if an MA counted. I would do it part time over 2 years. Maybe the system is different in Scotland cos I don't think I can get student loans, only a career development loan.
