Information for schools and colleges

Services offered by our Student Finance Centre

We work closely with our local schools and colleges to ensure students are well-prepared financially for university and have an understanding of the support available. We offer the following presentations and workshops:

HE Funding presentation

This 45 minute presentation explains the funding options available to UK undergraduate students.

NHS Funding presentation

This 45 minute presentation is for students who are considering an NHS-funded course.

Student Finance Application workshop

Students are usually able to apply for funding from January. This workshop guides students through the online application process, and staff are available to answer questions. This works well as either a drop in session, or as a scheduled workshop.

Budget Game

This is an interactive workshop for students in years 9 and 10. It introduces the topic of budgeting and encourages participants to start thinking about the cost of university.

Maximum of 30 students.

Poundstretchers

This is an interactive workshop for students in years 12 and 13. Together students study and discuss a mock student bank statement - looking out for spending pitfalls, and examples of bad money management. The session also shows students how to create a budget.

Maximum of 20 students.
