    Are you eligible for a grant as a mature student or otherwise? Without checking this out i think the criteria is that you have to be over 23 and living away from home the november previous to the start date of the course. There is also an element of means testing.

    My brother recently got a student loan, but only a small scale one, you'd need something fairly hefty to survive for a year if you had no income, and the bank let him defer the repayments for six months. A year might be pushing it, but i don't know, have a chat with them, they are itching to get their hooks into people for non-mortgage based lending.

    Don't rule out medical experiementation, rumour had it that a well known company who was always distributing leaflets among the students in QUB would pay you 10k to let them cut off your big toe and attempt to re-attach it.
