Budgeting at university, last minute problems, and three types of decision.
After last week’s introduction to fees, loans and grants, this week we look at how to budget and how to manage your money while at university.
We consider one very good reason why you should never, ever leave applications of any type to the last minute.
And we learn about hats, haircuts and tattoos, and what they can teach you about decision making.
Student finance basics, UCAS Discovery, and humankind's greatest achievement.
This week we make an abrupt 180 degree turn, from last week’s ancient Roman philosophy, to one of the most critical and practical challenges for all students: understanding student finance.
We find out about UCAS Discovery Exhibitions, which start this week.
And we learn why education should not be seen merely as a hoop for you to jump through.
UCAS Extra and Clearing, Student Finance, and the truth about prestige.
This week we take a look at UCAS Extra and Clearing, both of which could be really important options for you if things don’t go quite as you expect.
We also take a first look at university funding for UK students.
And we hear about prestige and how it can warp your beliefs.
