Financial Matters

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:

• Student Loans
• The University Access Fund
• Possible additional sources of financial support (including Trusts & Charities)
• How to budget more effectively
• Banking problems
• Debts (this may be debts owed either to the University or to another body or organisation.)

Budget Help

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.
