Incidentally: the low interest government backed loans are a one shot deal. I could not now go and do another degree and get a low interest loan from the Student Loan company, nor can I apply for any governmant backed maintenance loans or grants. The cost of my MA tuition is lower than if I was an overseas student because the government gives general subsidy funding tagged to the number of MA students, but I have to find my own way of paying for that tuition. I am fortunate to hve a scholarship, many don't.
