What are the skills to save money when living in Britain?

Here are 7 tips for saving money by studying in the UK!

1, seize the exchange opportunity.

The exchange rate changes every day, so grasping the right time to exchange foreign exchange can reduce a lot of expenses. You can check the exchange rate trend online at any time. At the same time, appropriate exchange methods can also avoid unnecessary expenses. Although telegraphic transfer can be received quickly, the handling fee is higher than that of bill transfer. Choosing the right international credit card can even eliminate the handling fee.

Step 2 Take advantage of student welfare

Many places in Britain, such as museums, cinemas and theaters, offer students different degrees of preferential fares. When you take public transportation such as trains, student ID cards can also save you a lot of money. In some stores, such as HMV,

Students can enjoy different discounts when shopping in Topman. Before you travel, you can also apply for an international student card: ISIC.

3. The food is made by yourself.

Going to the canteen will certainly save time and money, but it is expensive after all. Besides, in view of China people's spoiled appetites, it's ok to try English food once in a while. If you eat it every day, your stomach will definitely protest. If you can cook by yourself, you can improve your self-care ability and save a lot of money. Several major supermarket chains in Britain: Tesco, Tesco, Asda and Saninbury all provide good and cheap ingredients. I suggest you visit them often.

4. Reasonable choice of residence

Although it is convenient to live in a school dormitory, the dormitory fee is usually not low. If you don't mind walking a few more steps, there are often more suitable choices outside the school. The same is true when choosing a room type. If you live alone, don't choose a luxurious one-bedroom apartment. Sharing a room with several partners or sharing a bedroom with another person is a good choice.

5. Reasonable choice of transportation mode

Public transportation in Britain is not cheap, so it is particularly important to choose the right mode of transportation according to the time. Everyone in the city can choose an oyster card with a student discount card. When going out to play, the price of long-distance buses is relatively low. But it would be great if we could grab the discounted train ticket in advance. Low-cost airlines all over Britain can sometimes offer extra price surprises.

6. Do internship or part-time job appropriately.

You can try part-time or internship as appropriate without affecting your studies. However, you should pay attention to the relevant laws and regulations when you work part-time. To work in Britain, you need to apply for a work permit. International students have a work permit of 20 hours per week, and there is no limit to the length of working hours during holidays. It is more meaningful to find a good internship and practice English and professional ability. There are many examples of working for a few months to save enough tuition for one year.

7. Study hard and apply for a scholarship.

In fact, this is the highest rate of return. Learning to make money is not delayed. Although there are not many scholarship options for overseas students in the British postgraduate program, who knows what will happen if you don't try? For undergraduates studying in the UK, this is more meaningful. When they graduated, they were full of scholarships and the highest degree. I envy them.
