Welcome to National Student Money Week!

Monday 3 – Friday 7 March 2025

National Student Money Week is the UK’s biggest annual financial awareness campaign for students. 

Organised by the National Association of Student Money Advisers (NASMA), this week-long event aims to help students develop better financial habits, become more money-aware, and make informed decisions about managing their finances during university and beyond. 

This year’s theme is Survive and Thrive: Building financial resilience focusing on equipping students with the skills and knowledge to not just get by, but to truly flourish financially.

What are we doing for National Student Money Week?

Money Mentor Blogs

The Money & Housing Advice Team’s Money Mentors – students who are employed by the University to help other students development their money management skills – have written blogs on ways of saving money and how to enjoy life more cheaply – from how to stay fit and healthy without breaking the bank to how to make money through side hustles such as using online marketplaces to ‘flip’ clothes and other items.

Shopping Basket Challenge

Join the Money & Housing Advice Team and the Money Mentors on Wednesday 5th March, between 11am and 2pm, on the Manchester and Bloomsbury campuses for their shopping basket challenge! 

2 shopping baskets – will your favourite brands cost more than an own-brand shop? Take a guess at the difference in price and win your next supermarket shop on us! (Hint: the own-brand one is cheaper).

Follow our partners

Following NASMA on their website or social media is a great way to stay updated on nationwide competitions, webinars, and financial resources. 
The University also partners with Blackbullion – during National Student Money Week they will be running competitions with prizes, hosting webinars etc.
