Cost of Living

The current cost of living crisis is affecting everyone, and in partnership with the Students' Union, we want to work together to support each other during this time.

 

With the right information and guidance, you can minimise financial worries and maximise your enjoyment of student life:

 

  • Support
  • Hardship Funds
  • Bursaries, Grants and Scholarships
  • Earn while you learn

 

Student Wellbeing and Support Team

 

Our Student Wellbeing and Support Team at the Student Zone can advise you about financial support and eligibility for:

 

  • Undergraduate funding for full-time and part-time courses
  • Postgraduate funding
  • University bursaries, funds and scholarships
  • Laptop grant to support access to essential IT equipment for your studies
  •  

They also offer guidance on:

 

  • Budgeting and money management (including student banking)
  • How to make your student budget stretch as far as possible
  • Ideas for saving

 

Accommodation £439-£1,000 per month

If you are living away from home the biggest part of your budget will be on rent. The cost of accommodation depends upon location, room type and facilities. Don’t forget that the University has a range of accommodation available to suit all budgets.

Remember students do not have to pay council tax, but you do have to get an exemption certificate.

 

Household bills £79 per month

If you are living in private accommodation, you may also have to budget for utility bills such as gas, electricity, water and TV licence.

 

Groceries £133 per month

Groceries are the second biggest expenditure for students. By doing a weekly meal plan, looking for bargains and buying supermarket value brands there are lots of ways to save. Check out this guide on  saving money on food  or try this  weekly meal plan .

And here are  some great recipes  from our very own Head Chef Stuart.

 

Course materials £24 per month

Academic costs include books and course materials, as well as stationary photocopying and printing costs. These can vary tremendously depending on what subject you study.

Always check first if your course materials are available via  the Library  before purchasing any books and don’t forget the  University Bookshop  which offers a  price match promise .

Students have access to a range of  free software  including Microsoft Office and when on campus, there are many  PCs/Apple Macs  to use as well as  laptops to borrow . We do, however, recommend that you have your own laptop computer as there will be lots of online resources, recorded lectures and activities for you to engage with.

 

Mobile Phones £24 per month

The amount you spend is up to you - keep an eye on your bills.

 

Travel £69

Depending on where you live, you may need to budget for daily costs and weekend journeys if you travel home or away on visits. If your home is some distance from the University, you will also have to consider the cost of travelling to and from the University at the beginning and end of term. As a student you can access a range of  public transport discounts and deals .

 

Personal items £100 per month

Costs of personal items (for example, toiletries or clothes) vary considerably from individual to individual but is important to include in your budget.

 

Going out £69 per month plus £66 for eating out and takeaways

By giving yourself a budget for socializing you can make sure you make the best of your time at University and not spend all your budget in the first few weeks!

 

The Students’ Union Lounge at St George’s is a great place to meet people and provides lots of great food and drink deals. There are also a range of free events throughout the year - including the popular Chooseday Chill, every Tuesday at Augustine House from 5pm, with games, crafts and free tea and toast.

 

For discounts on shops and restaurants in Canterbury why not think about getting a free MyCanterbury Discount Card or maybe ask someone to buy you a Canterbury Gift Card. There are of course lots of student discounts to be had – check out the NUS Totum Card for over 350 offers and deals.

 

Other costs £25 per month

 

You should put some money aside for unexpected cost or emergency expenses so you always have some contingency for the unknow.
