The picture about money is another gloomy one - sorry. British
student loans can only be used for study in the UK, so you would need to take out a private bank loan, which comes with higher interest rates, and no ability to defer repayment. Also, I think it would be hard to convince a British bank to make you a loan, when it would probably come out that you're going abroad to do a course and
hoping to end up living there. They'd be afraid they wouldn't be repaid.
