    Egg typically offer 0% on purchases for upto 6 months with their Egg Card and myself and a few other students I know have been accepted with £500 limit cards.

    There's a Student Barclaycard available - I think they're relaunching it at the moment so you might have to wait a few weeks to apply.

    Also a number of the banks do their own student credit card, HSBC and NatWest certainly do.
