Everything you need to know about student finances

On this episode of the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast Laura and Danni deep dive into student finances. How much debt are you likely to rack up during your time at university, when do you start paying it back, and how do you apply for loans to cover costs like accommodation and food?

Laura Brown from Save The Student gives her tips for managing budgets for the first time and we assess how much parents can expect to pay depending on their household budgets. Plus, with inflation falling, when can we expect an interest rate cut and why did rates rise in the first place?
