The brochure i've been given specifies that the loans are for graduates continuing their study for a professional qualification.
I think you probably could get a loan from them but it would not be as much as if you were a postgraduate.
This is from the HSBC website:

Postgraduate and Professional Studies Loan
Taking that final step towards qualification is not easy. You need to concentrate on your studies, not spend time constantly looking at your finances, worrying whether you can make ends meet. That's where our Postgraduate and Professional Studies loan can provide a real benefit. We have loan schemes for:
Legal students
General postgraduate and professional studies students, including Commercial Pilots Licence
Medical, dental and veterinary students*
For each year of your course you can apply to borrow:
all course fees, and
living expenses up to the greater of
- £5,000, or
- two-thirds of any salary you earned
in the 12 months before you started
your course
* funding of £5,000 per annum is available from the 4th year of study.
In all cases your main bank account must be held with HSBC.
To find out more and get a quote visit your local branch or call
0800 520 420.
Lines are open from 8am to 10pm every day except Christmas Day. Calls may be monitored or recorded for quality purposes.
