Breakout session
This session will be of most use to those with an introductory level of knowledge.
Summary
Prospective students have so many decisions to make when selecting a university and course, the financial aspects of independent living can often be an afterthought in preparing for university life. The aim of this session is to deliver key student finance messages, and help teachers and advisers understand and consider the wider issues around funding and budgeting.
The presentation covers all aspects of student finance, including tuition fees, loans, and repayments, and is supported by a fun budgeting workshop.
