What's happening?


University is about more than studying — it’s the first real test of independence. But as the cost of living rises, many students graduate into financial anxiety, not freedom.


Talk Money Week is a chance to start five conversations every student should have before graduation:


  1. Budgeting honestly. Track what’s really coming in and out — not just rent, but subscriptions, meals, and travel.


  2. Understanding credit. Learn how credit scores work and how to avoid high-interest traps.


  3. Savings goals. Even £10 a month builds healthy habits and financial confidence.


  4. Part-time work and taxes. Know how to register for work and understand your payslip.


  5. Talking to friends about money. Normalize saying, “I can’t afford that this week.” Real friends understand.



Your Takeaway


Only 38% of students in the UK say they’ve received any financial education. Yet learning how to manage money early helps build lifelong resilience.


So as Talk Money Week approaches, take one step: start a conversation — with your flatmate, your parents, or your university wellbeing team. You’ll be glad you did.
