Just some comments on integrated vs modular. I took modular courses, but planned them so I could complete everything in just over a year - a similar timescale to integrated students. The difference - I completed my professional licencences for about £50,000 INCLUDING living expenses as opposed to £60,000 for an integrated course with certain organisations WITHOUT living expenses.

All in all modular saved me about £15,000 I reckon and I still managed to get a job within 5 months of completing my IR. If you have a contingency - a sellable skill to rely on for food and bills while job-hunting - then why not save money and go modular. If you are the right person you will get a job with persistence eventually and save yourself a bundle in the meantime. Just some food for thought.
