Student financial guidance
We are the University's expert financial guidance team, providing support and advice on a wide range of issues. We help both current and prospective students. So you can get help before you even apply to University.
We are free, confidential and non-judgemental, available by appointment, drop in, telephone or email.
Money matters
Basic budgeting, particularly in the current climate can be hard, especially when you're in first year. If you think you may struggle as a result of restricted income sources and the timing of your student finance payments then please get in touch and we will do our best to help.
We are the first university in the UK to have designed and released a student-specific budgeting app - PANDA - that will help you keep track of your spending so you can enjoy your time with us.

Student Support Fund
Worried about finding yourself in financial hardship when you get here? Don't worry. We have an amazing Student Support Fund team who can help you.
This is for current students only and you will have to meet the residency criteria to receive student support for living costs from Student Finance Gov.UK. We provide a University's Hardship Fund (full time and part time) and a short term emergency loan.
