Those rules of course only apply to the official student loan, which unles yuo or your parents are very well off is about 3 grand a year. Thus you owe about 9 grand after a degree course. You may or may not have to pay fees of about a grand a year as well. This is all changing for new students and unis can now charge what are euphemistically called "top up" fees.
However, in reality most students end up borrowing over and above the official sturdent loan, from banks or on credit cards. True this is probably unwise, but they are usually getting desperate. These borrowing have to be paid off at once at commercial rates.
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
