Student Budgeting and Money Management Workshop
This workshop is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Ireland who need a clear system for managing income and expenses. The session covers building a personal budget, selecting appropriate student bank accounts, and using digital tools for expense tracking. Participants work through real Irish cost-of-living scenarios, including accommodation, transport, and part-time income. The format includes a 90-minute instructional block followed by a 90-minute practical exercise using provided worksheets. This offer is a good fit for student unions, societies, or departments seeking to add financial capability programming. A typical use case is a class of 25 students preparing for a semester abroad or starting a part-time job. The workshop provides a reusable budget template and a follow-up resource list for Irish financial services. It avoids investment advice and focuses on foundational money habits for early financial independence.
Who This Is For
This workshop serves Irish university students, including those in first-year or preparing for postgraduate study. It is also relevant for students returning from Erasmus or international exchanges who need to re-establish a budget. The content assumes no prior finance knowledge and uses plain language.
What Is Included
The session includes a printed budget template, a guide to Irish student bank accounts, and a digital tool demonstration. Participants receive a resource list covering credit unions, student grants, and financial support services in Ireland. The workshop is delivered in-person at our Drogheda location or at a client venue.
Format and Workflow
The workshop runs for 3 hours with a structured agenda: introduction, instruction, and hands-on exercise. The instructor provides live examples using Irish cost data and facilitates group discussion. Each participant completes a draft budget and receives individual feedback during the practical segment.
