Money Box Live from Leeds: Student Finance


Listen Later

Felicity Hannah and the team broadcast live from Leeds University as students from England face a massive overhaul to their finances. It's the biggest change in more than a decade.

Previously, student loans were written off after 30 years, but under a new scheme called 'Plan 5' it's 40 years. Graduates will also have to start paying money back when they earn £25,000, the threshold has been lowered this year from £27,295.

So, this week we're looking at how much a really degree costs as well as taking your questions and comments.

On the programme we have money guru Martin Lewis to explain exactly what the changes mean as well as Louise Banahene, Leeds University Engagement Officer, Bethan Corner, who is the Education Officer at the Student Union, and Tom Allingham from student finance website, Save the Student.

Presenter: Felicity Hannah

Producer: Sarah Rogers
Editor: Jess Quayle

(First broadcast, 3pm, Wednesday 27th September 2023)
