Student Money Manual

 

The average student now leaves university with £12,363 of debts and money worries are a key reason for many of those who drop out of university.

Good money management can help canny students to cut their costs, make sure they are receiving all they are entitled to and keep their debts to a minimum.

Credit Action has been publishing its Student Moneymanual since 1994 and from 2007/8, in partnership with Cattles Plc, it will be distributed to all UCAS applicants for the next 4 years.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the manual in helping students manage their money better and to consider the wider implications of student debt, this project will incorporate a research element.
