There should be someone at your current/last institution who can point you in the right direction. There is also plenty of information on the internet. A site ending .ac.uk will be an academic site run by a university, college or other "official" academic body. A site ending .gov.uk will be a government site. I would be surprised if there were many places left for this year, particularly if you are set on one particular course of study, so you may need to spend a lot of time phoning round looking for vacancies then your choice may be between applying for what is available or waiting a year.

Here is one starting point. It may not give the exact information that you want but you can get contact details from here.

UCAS is more geared up for first degrees but the site is still worth a browse.

The deadline for applying to many courses is mid-March, some ask for earlier applications. At this stage, there will still be a few vacancies where someone has changed their mind, where a course was less popular than anticipated and where the institution is looking for exceptional candidates.

If you decide to wait a year, you should start the application process now.

If cost is a major factor, you should look at some courses outside the South East.

Some post graduate study is done in conjunction with employment at a university but, again, most of the appointments for this year will have been filled. Depending on your first degree, the jobs section here may be worth a browse. Certainly you'll find something worth reading in the publication.

I wish you well but you need to keep your head up and look for something worthwhile in the event that you can't find exactly what you want.
