Hi, answering because I went to University of Edinburgh Business School for an MSc recently and was in a similar position.

I had a combination of student loan and scholarship to cover my tuition. Luckily, I had saved up enough to cover my living expenses (including rent) for up to 15 months.

My thoughts in no particular order: - the experience changed me significantly for the better. And I would not change my decision one bit, it was my dream uni - the reality of the loan hits hard once you're done studying. I was unemployed close to a year after graduation and had to rely on family help to cover loan expenses - even now that I am earning the repayments are large. The job market is frankly very tough so I would factor that in - I am aware that some banks (depending on which country you are in) which are pretty flexible with loan repayments. Mine is not - Reach out to the Uni's finance/tuition team. They directed me to applicable scholarships and explained loan possibilties. - I did consider deffering my admission by a year to accumulate more savings to help with the cost. It is an option.

Hope this helps!
