Most students experience financial problems whilst at University, so it's nothing to be ashamed about. If you have any financial worries you should seek advice as soon as possible so that the situation does not get any worse.
We can advise on any of the following:
We have put together information on the deals offered to Students by Banks. Click on the link below to access the tabled information in .pdf format. Remember to use the Adobe Reader controls to turn the file to enable you to read it.

To help you to budget more effectively and to keep debt under control we have a handy budget planner available as an MS Excel file available.
If you complete the information on-screen the table will add everything up for you, but you can also print it out to complete if you choose do so.
The table makes budgeting easier - you just need to fill in the amounts either by week, month or quarter.
