As a student, you can be thrown into the world of budgeting and bills and it can be hard to wrap your head around. Money can be a really stressful thing to have to think about, especially if you have rent or bills and you’re not sure where to get the money from. Our Students' Union webpages have some great advice and support regarding budgeting, student finances and financial hardship, including a handy budgeting spreadsheet.  Occasionally unexpected events can lead to financial hardship.  Hopefully this won't happen to you, but if it does, the University has a Hardship Support Fund to offer additional financial support.

Part-time jobs can be useful to university students as a way to boost your income - just make sure you balance your time so you can complete your studies and enjoy the social aspects of university life! Our CareerZone can also offer help with CVs and job applications and offers a dedicated part-time job service to help you gain experience and earn money whilst studying. The Career Zone has put together this Part-Time Jobs Guide for support. Handshake lists all the latest jobs on campus and in the local area. Do check the conditions of student finance or, if you’re an international student, your visa, regarding part-time work, to ensure you’re not working too many hours.
