Student Money Advice & Rights Team (SMART)

Our Student Money Advice and Rights Team (SMART) is on hand to help you with any questions you may have before and during your time as a student here.

We appreciate that finance is one of the key considerations when applying to university. It's natural to wonder how you will pay your tuition fees, living expenses and all of the other costs associated with going to university.

We can give you advice, information and guidance on government and university funds so that you receive your full funding entitlement.

The University of East London is here for our students no matter what. During the Covid-19 global pandemic, we allocated over £500,000 to students through our Exceptional Hardship Bursary, which we established to help our students through financial difficulties they may have experienced as a result of the pandemic.

Postgraduate study? 

Postgraduate study is an investment in your future. For guidance on the funding available and advice on how to keep control of your finances, contact our Student Money Advice and Rights Team (SMART).

Fortunately, our Student Money Advice and Rights Team (SMART) are on hand to help you with any questions or problems you may have before and during your time as a University of East London student.

Our SMART advisors can guide you through the funding options that are available, including the generous package of discounts and scholarships that are available at UEL.

They can also advise you on personal financial situation and provide tips on budgeting and managing any debts.

Contact us for a SMART advice session

The SMART Team offer a daily telephone advice service from 10.00am-2.00pm (Monday-Friday). 

Alternatively, should you wish to discuss your circumstance in more depth, SMART appointments (either on-campus or telephone) can be booked via the Student Hub:

Phone: +44 (0)20 8223 4444
