Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might be able to sit some exams externally? My friend tried that and only had to sit the exams and submit assignments. It was very much cheaper and she didn't have to go to class. Worth enquiring about.

Probably should also talk to the people you applied to for the masters. They may let you interview and get in anyway?
