Unlike with undergraduate degrees, student finance does not automatically pay your postgraduate tuition fees. Instead, you just receive a total amount from student finance to manage yourself. This requires you to manage more large sum payments independently.

My top three tips for managing postgraduate finances are:

1. Estimate your income and estimate your outgoings. Split your outgoings into essential and non-essential outgoings.

2. Calculate your weekly budget and use a student budgeting excel spreadsheet to help with this.

3. If there are shortfalls financially, it is always possible to take up a part-time job with the University. You could become a Student Ambassador or a Graduate Teaching Assistant.
