JJ, I wish you luck.
I was very fortunate and only ended up paying for 0.5 of a Masters. I managed to beg, steal or otherwise get my mits on the funding for the other 1.5 Masters
.
It was a mix of being at the right place at the right time, in one case buying beers for the right person at a social event and generally making a complete nuisance of myself for the remainder!
In one case, I had actually bitten the bullet and paid for 2/3rds of the Course before the fortunitous beer-drinking incident. Three rounds of drinks - £18. Funding obtained - £4,000! Now, that's what I call an ROI!
Good luck - and happy learning!
