Cost of living: Study

SU services, resources and tips

Juggling full-time studies alongside a part-time job and other commitments is never easy, and especially around exam and assessment times. We've put together some Time Management Tips for Working Students which gives a few pointers on ways you can balance your commitments whilst looking after your wellbeing.

Now more than ever, working whilst at University might seem like a necessity, and not always a rewarding one. However, it's good to keep in mind that there are many other benefits to part-time work than just the money. Find out 7 Ways Your Student Job Can Help You Win Over Recruiters.

It might be a simple tip, but it's one that's often overlooked. Borrowing library books rather than buying can save a huge amount of money throughout the course of the year. Of course there's setbacks like you won't be able to annotate, and availability is limited, but if you can, it'll save you a decent amount of money, especially if it's just for one module.
