UCAS launches university budgeting tool
UCAS has launched a new tool to help students understand the costs of going to university. The tool aims to help prospective students understand the potential cost of going to university, including accommodation, food, travel and other costs, as well as helping enrolled students budget effectively to avoid surprises.
The UCAS Budget Calculator breaks down costs by region, allows you to set a monthly budget and view the details graphically. This allows comparisons of potential costs by location, as well as see what the true cost of attending university will be. It includes functionality to add your own customised expenses for specific needs.
The tool could be valuable for career development practitioners working with young people who are nervous about the cost of university education, to help clarify the real cost.
