Managing your money
Get free and impartial financial advice from our Student Advice Team
With proper budgeting and careful planning, money doesn't have to be an issue when you are a student.
Learning to manage your money is a skill we ideally all need to learn at some time in our lives. Whether we like it or not, money management is a crucial part of university life. Even if you have always worked and paid for things before coming to university, because due to the way students are paid and how this (and paid work) fits in with the academic year, organising your finances and making sure you have enough money is different at university.
To help you manage your money while at uni, we are delighted to be working
in partnership with blackbullion. Through this partnership, LJMU students can access a range of online financial planning tools and resources. You can log on and register today using your LJMU email address and start to take control of your finances.
