Folks, appreciate all your replies, very much appreciated.
From what you guys have said, I'm glad to see I've got some good choices around me, although I will probably need to add a bit to my budget plans to cover other fees as ABZ777 has pointed out. Out of interest, do you think an extra £5000 would cover these? Totaling to £50k, is this a reasonable budget?
On another financial note, do you think the chances of getting an unsecured loan for about £30k, about 3/4 years from now (making me 25/26) is possible?
My credit history is very good, in my student days I had quite a chunk of debt, but it worked out better as I paid it all off, and never missed any payments.
With regards to the Longair agreement, Tayside would be out of my way, but at the end of the day, if the extra commute increases my chances of a job at the end, it is worth it, but how reliable do you think it is? Do you think it is worth the 2 hour commute?
Thanks again folks
