If I take only a partial loan and plan to find a part-time job in the UK, will that be sufficient for my visa and expenses, or should I take a complete loan?

No, relying only on a partial loan and part-time work is not sufficient for your UK Student visa or living expenses.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires you to show proof of funds covering your full tuition fees and living expenses before your visa is approved. For courses outside London, you must show £1,171/month for up to 9 months (totaling £10,539), in addition to your tuition.
Part-time work can help with extra expenses, but UKVI does not accept projected part-time earnings as proof of funds. You must demonstrate you have enough money upfront, either through a complete loan or personal savings.
