Money Matters

Studying at university represents a significant investment in your future. With increases in the cost of living, knowing what support is available and how to manage your finances is more important than ever.
Support is available to all students here at Falmouth. Whether you're an international student, a mature student, living at home or studying one of our online degrees, you can come and talk to us.
Hardship Fund
If you're a current student and experiencing unforeseen financial difficulties, you could be eligible for the University's Hardship Fund.
Budgeting
Why should you budget? Your maintenance loan is usually paid in three instalments per year, so it’s important to avoid spending too much, too soon. Having a clear budget can ultimately help you make your money go further.
If you’re struggling with your finances, our Students’ Union offers one-to-one appointments where you can get advice on budgeting.
