Financial support
Affordability has always been something that has been a key issue for students at university, but with the current cost of living crisis we know that things are extra difficult at the moment.
At Norwich, we know how this can affect mental health and wellbeing and we are working hard to support you.
Our dedicated and friendly Student Funding and Advice team is here to help and support you throughout your time at university. We can provide information to help you make informed decisions about your finances.
- Helping to ensure that you maximise your student funding entitlement.
- Help to resolve any complex funding issues.
- Provide support for those who find themselves in financial hardship.
- Budgeting and money management.
If you’re worried about anything, please contact our Student Funding and Advice team at student.finance@norwichuni.ac.uk or through OurNorwichUni.
Cost of living Support Package 2024-25
The cost-of-living crisis continues to affect many parts of society, including our students. We want to support you as much as we can, so building on our cost-of-living support package last year, we are continuing to provide help where we can and are introducing some new financial support measures to help alleviate some of the costs you might face when studying here this year.

Managing your money

If you would like some support with planning your budget for university, you can speak to our Student Funding and Advice team by emailing student.finance@norwichuni.ac.uk
Money Matters workshops
Our Student Finance and Funding team hosts sessions for students looking to get on top of their finances. During these sessions, we can:
- cover the basics of budgeting
- provide tools to help you track your spending
- look at how you can reduce your expenses
- suggest ways to maximise your income
- give an overview of the financial help available at Norwich.
You can also access helpful budgeting advice online through sites like WHICH, Money Saving Expert and Save the Student – this even has a ‘how to save money’ section with ideas to help your budget stretch that bit further!
