01: Introduction

With the costs of funding a three-year university course now amounting to well over £30,000, it is probably unrealistic to expect any children you have at university to leave with no debts at all. Indeed, as a yardstick, it is useful to be aware that the average student now leaves university with debts of around £15,000.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of steps that both you and children attending university can take to ensure that the levels of debt they chalk up remain at manageable levels.Last Updated
