Student Practical Life & Money

Student Practical Life & Money (UK & Ireland)

Day-to-day essentials for students in the UK & Ireland — converting a foreign driving licence, National Insurance & student tax, getting a PPS number in Ireland, tenancy-deposit protection and renters\u2019 rights, NHS dental/optician/prescription costs, paying tuition and living costs, and cost of living in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

The practical side of student life — driving, tax, deposits, healthcare costs and paying your fees — is easy to overlook until you need it. These guides cover the settling-in and money essentials for the UK and Ireland.

Rules, rates and costs differ between the UK and Ireland and change over time; confirm current details on the official sources, and treat money guidance as general information, not financial advice.
