For most post graduate courses, you will be expected to fund yourself but there may be sponsorships or bursaries to help. You can get financial help depending on what post graduate course you are looking to do.

Student finance provides masters loans of £11,222 to full time postgrads whose courses starts after 1 August 2020.
The amount you’ll get is not based on your income or your parent's earnings.
The masters loan is paid directly to you in three installments for you to use as a contribute towards your living costs and course fees. https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan/what-youll-get

The masters loan is only provided for your first postgrad,
I funded my other postgrads through: part time earnings, savings, credit and employer sponsorship.
Some of my friends received corporate sponsorship, bursaries or scholarships that covered total tuition fees plus provided limited financial assistance towards living costs.
