The Student Money Matters Project, is one of the Nottingham Advantage Award modules, that gives you the opportunity to be a key part of the University’s contribution to National Student Money Week (NSMW) taking place in February 2016. Within this module you will engage in peer-to-peer education, by researching, designing and delivering a campaign/event/workshop, for other students on the topic of improving financial capability.

The module will be led by experienced staff from the University’s Financial Support Team, with input from Student Advice Centre staff, Experian and Money Advice (Nottingham).
