Being able to manage your money is an important part of life as a
student and beyond. During your time at

university you will probably need
to survive on a tight budget. You may be anxious about
getting into too much debt or want to know, for
example, what the
advantages and disadvantages of using a credit card
are. When you leave university your priorities may
change but you will still have decisions to make about your money.
You will find that the ability to make informed choices about your
finances is a key skill at each stage in your life.
The Smart Money pages are here to give you information and
advice on a wide variety of topics:
If you want to get further advice about any of these issues then
please contact the Student Advisers.
''The Smart Money initiative at the University of
Westminster is part of a national project aiming to improve
students' financial capability, led by the Financial Services
Authority."
