Money Worries and Debts – How to get help and advice

Managing your finances is often a challenge for students, particularly with the current and upcoming increase in the cost of living.

The Student Funding Team are available to help and advise you of the best ways to make the most of your money and manage your outgoings.

If you are struggling with your finances and are worried that your income does not cover your outgoings and/or you cannot make sufficient payments to your landlord, credit cards companies or other financial commitments, we are here to help. We can help you set a realistic budget and give advice on where and how to seek professional help with unmanageable debts.
