Postgraduate student bank accounts - Options

Hi All,
Can anybody offer any advice on postgraduate student bank accounts? The guide on MSE only covers undergrads
I did my undergraduate 2 years ago and had an RBS student account which has now upgraded to a graduate account (still have the large overdraft facilities but they would charge me interest if i went into it).
RBS don't have a student/postgraduate account for people doing less than 2 years studying and i'm starting a masters that's only 1 year long.
Best I can find online is the Santander 123 postgraduate account with interest free overdraft for up to £1500 and decent interest on positive balances.
Can anyone recommend anything better that i would be eligible for? A large interest free overdraft is the most important thing to me as i'm self funding the masters.
Thanks for the help in advance!

To apply you must be aged 17 or over & completing a full-time undergraduate course that lasts at least 2 years; completing a full-time post-graduate course; or training as a nurse, at a UK university or college of higher education.
Are you sure RBS wouldn't simply change you over?
Would a 1 year postgrad MSc not be full time?This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

No i phoned and it has to be a 2 year full time course. They're joint entry criteria not separate ones.0
