From a narrowly avoided gunslinging showdown to a suspect Mastermind quiz to a Top of the Pops chart rundown... We at the Uni Guide aim to uncover the cost of going to university in a dedicated episode! In this pod, Tim welcomes back self-confessed 'Student Finance geek' and founder of Uni Taster Days Jon Cheek alongside friend and fellow Student Finance expert, Ian McGarry (Operations Manager, Greater Manchester Higher) to bust myths, decode jargon and share information, advice and guidance on all the key aspects of the costs associated with university-. In plain English, with NO JARGON!

We also hear from our student panellist Anton Springett who shares his lived experience and advice on how young people can earn extra cash whilst they study alongside brilliant budgeting tips!
