The Student Income and Expenditure Survey 2015 is the first large scale study of student finance since the changes in student funding were introduced in 2012.
Whatever your course, and whether you are full time or part time, this is an opportunity for you to have your say about student finance.

Who is taking part?

The research involves over 5,000 students at over 80 universities and colleges across England and Wales and is supported by the National Union of Students.
The findings will inform government policy on student financial support and tell future students about the costs associated with studying.
