What about the Open University? You'll have to pay fees (but you'd have to do that anyways for night courses), but you could get tax relief on the cost which'd be something.

Fair play to ye. I was actually thinking of that.

1. Do you get work out of it/can you go on to further study with it or would a potential professor laugh at your masters if its from OU

2. I think they want you to do 1 subject for your first year and only two a year after, thus you'd be 4 years getting a masters !!!!???

Not sure of the answers myself (I'm looking into a course there at the moment) but there's a big thread over in the Distance/Part-time education forum which might have some people who could help.
