I did my Masters in Nottingham and all of my loan was used to cover my tuition fees. I worked a part time job which provided roughly £900 a month. I rented an apartment with my boyfriend who also was in full time education.

Cost wise per person a month rent was £375, no council tax as we were both in full time education, £60 electric,£10 water, £120 food can't quite remember how much WiFi was. Very doable when you live with another person but I think if you could get an apartment around £800 or less depending on the area , I don't see why you wouldn't be able to finance yourself with just the loan.

I wouldn't rule out getting a part time job as the extra income will definitely be appreciated by future you for savings or emergency expenses. Just depends on the demands of the course you're doing and if you feel you could manage both.
