11 top Budgeting


To the right we have created a very general guide of how much you will need to survive for one month in college.


You should sit and discuss this with your parents/guardians and see where you can cut costs and how much they will be able to give you on a monthly or weekly basis.

Some students may find themselves experiencing financial difficulties despite being careful with money during their time at university. If you find yourself in this situation and cannot reasonably obtain funds elsewhere, financial support is available from the university in the form of the Financial Aid Fund. The purpose of the fund is to overcome financial difficulties and enable students to fully benefit from their studies. Costs such as childcare, academic materials, rent, heat/light, food, travel, medical/dental expenses and those arising from family breakdown or bereavement can be considered for support. No money will be given to assist with fees, registration or debt. Students who are following a course of at least one years duration leading to an undergraduate / postgraduate qualification are eligible to apply. The fund is means tested.
