    You cannot extend your stay as a working holidaymaker. However, you may be eligible to switch into work permit employment after 12 months in the UK if your occupation is on the list of ‘shortage occupations’. Working holidaymakers can also apply to stay in the UK as ‘Innovators’. You can find out more about these schemes and a list of shortage occupations (link)

    The third link give you all the information on student visa.

    I don’t think you can do what you want to do without returning to your home country. As one requirement of the HMV is that you leave the country when the visa expires unless you are on a work visa.
