If you have someone willing to act as a guarantor, i.e. secure the loan against they´re property, might i suggest you speak to some banks with regards to mortgages. They´re are quite a few banks, HSBC, Barclays etc etc who do offer "proffessional studies" loans but these tend to be mortgages with a few special tweeks and a truck load of interest. I almost got into a HSBC contract but after a few sums realised i could get a mortgage with scottish widows, have the same value of monthly repayments but be paid off 3 years earlier so less total costs. If you are serious about finding finance then do shop around, seriously! If need be speak to a financial advisor, when we´re talking about these sums of money its often worth paying a few hundred quid to save you a few thousand in the long term.
