With most of the big banks it's £1000 interest (and charge) -free overdraft in year 1, £1250 in yr 2 and £1500 yr 3. So you get an extra £250 of OD each year.
Just google HSBC/Natwest/etc to get the websites up, find the 'student' section and it will say on there.

co-op are giving £1,400 interest free for the first year, which rises to £2k in year three:

Also look at when they want the overdraft paid off - I know some will give you three years whilst others don't! Take my advice and try not to live off your overdraft - it's a bad habit to get into - I know!
