    The main difference between a freelancer and a contract work employee is that a freelancer can choose the number of hours they wish to work along with the place and the time of work at which they want to work. Freelancers can even choose to work on several projects side-by-side with their main source of income/studies. However, contract employees cannot work on more than 1 project at a time and are bound by their contractor's terms of service of where, when and how long to work.

No, studying on a Graduate Visa in UK is generally not possible. Students can do so only if their chosen course is not eligible for a student visa in the UK. If you choose a course that is eligible for a student visa then you can apply for the extension of your UK student visa instead. The courses allowed on a Grdauate visa may include professional, recreational or online courses like short courses or skills development that are not covered by a full Student visa.
