Bank Accounts and Insurance

Many students take time during the summer holiday to open a bank account that accepts electronic bank transfers, if they don’t already have one and to sort out personal insurance. All of the high street banks and many building societies offer special deals for full-time students (like cashback, railcards or vouchers), so you can have a look for the most attractive offers.

Each student is advised to have their own insurance for their personal possessions whilst on university premises, especially if these include valuable items such as laptops, PCs or stereos. The lockers provided by the university are for temporary storage and should not be used for valuables. It’s worth shopping around to see which companies offer the best deals for students.
