Can anyone help me with student accounts. I’m going to be a part time (distance learning) masters student as of September. Are there any student accounts out there for us? All I can find are accounts for undergrads in their first year! I doubt there are any accounts for postgraduates with freebies too?

I'm struggling to find a graduate student account too. Most students account are for students doing a degree, some have an age limit (thanks, Barclays!!). My course is a one year masters and I completed my degree 10 years ago so can find nothing.

Hello are there any student bank accounts for an EU student moving to the UK to study. I have UCAS confirmation and accommodation. All the bank accounts seem to require that I live there for three years. I have a solid UK guarantor if it were needed would thathelp me open one of the student preferential accounts.

Hi

I am about to start a 1 year postgrad teacher training. Am I elidgable for a Student bank account, or are they only available to Undergrads? I already have a bank account with RBS which was a student account but i've been graduated for 10 years so I think is now just a regular bank account.

Thanks,
Sarah
