  1. Mastering Your Finances as an International Student: 7 Budgeting Tips By – Student Circus

  2. Introduction Welcome to our presentation on "Mastering Your Finances as an International Student: 7 Budgeting Tips." Managing money as an international student is crucial, given the higher expenses compared to local students. Let's explore some practical tips and tricks to help you stay financially secure during your time abroad.

  3. Create a Budget Budgeting is the foundation of financial management. Start by setting a monthly spending limit and commit to it in writing. Having a budget keeps you in control of your expenses.

  4. Track Your Expenses Understand where your money is going. Utilize budgeting tools like Mint to monitor your spending efficiently. These apps link your accounts, set spending limits, and help you track expenses easily.

  5. Student Discounts Take advantage of student discounts offered by various retailers. Apps like Unidays and Student Beans provide discount codes. Consider investing in an NUS card for extra savings. Don't forget to ask for student discounts even if they're not advertised.

  6. Cook at Home Cooking at home is cost-effective. Opt for grocery shopping and meal prepping. Look for discounted items nearing their "best by" dates. Keep ingredients on hand for quick, budget-friendly meals.

  7. Cancel Unused Subscriptions Review and cancel unused subscriptions. If you no longer use a gym membership, cancel it. Choose streaming services that align with your interests to save money.

  8. Borrow Books Utilize library resources to avoid purchasing expensive textbooks. Public libraries can be a great source. Explore interlibrary loans if your university library doesn't have what you need.

  9. Consider Part-Time Work Consider part-time work, which is allowed under your student visa (up to 20 hours per week). Many universities offer well-paid ambassador positions that allow flexibility. Explore opportunities at cafes, restaurants, and shops. Ensure your CV is polished and exude confidence when seeking employment.

  10. Pro Tips Always ask to speak to the manager and show enthusiasm when job hunting. Confidence can outweigh lack of experience. Check out our blog for more information on part-time jobs for students in the UK.

  11. Final Thoughts Before making any purchase, ask yourself: • Do you need it? • Is it worth it? • Is it cheaper elsewhere? Make informed spending decisions to stay financially secure.
