The FAA PPL includes night training so you get night privileges by default (unless you take your test in Alaska in the summer)
How much effort do you want to put in? You're talking about 2 years, possibly 3 years - but it's easily achievable in 1 year. If you consider your career earnings, every year you delay will cost you at least £100,000. There are jobs now. There might not be in 3 years. Borrow the money and get it done asap.
