Student debt advice guide

As a student, you may be worried about how you are going to manage your finances. We have written this guide to help you understand your options and show you how to make the most of your money.

Many students have their first experience of managing money at college or university. The freedom and responsibility of looking after yourself and your money for the first time can be very liberating but also quite daunting.

It’s very important that you get to grips with your finances from the beginning to avoid getting into serious debt.

This debt advice guide will help you to manage your money better so you’ll have financial peace of mind and will be free to concentrate on your studies and enjoy your time as a student.

Our guide explains:

  • how to organise your money
  • how to increase your income
  • what funding is available
  • how to manage your borrowing
  • where to get advice, and
  • what to do if you’re worried about your debts.
