Current students can join our money management course in Canvas, the University’s online learning environment. The course is divided into four modules and it takes approximately one hour to finish it:

The current content is designed for UK undergraduate students and we are working to broaden and expand the course in the future.
The course is not mandatory and it will not give you credits towards your degree. You can read through the modules in your own time, there are no deadlines and you do not need to complete it all at once.
