With an array of web resources tailored for students out there, it can sometimes be difficult to separate the useless from the useful. Luckily for you, we have compiled a list of the best student web resources, including some that will save your money, others time, and even some to improve your academia (yes, that thing you do at uni).  

 

 

Money & Discounts 

 

 

 

Save the Student: The student Bible for all matters relating to money. A brilliant and vital antidote to the growing cost of university. Useful guides, price comparisons, student deals and discounts galore!   

Student Beans: The world's leading student loyalty network – delivering hundreds of student discounts, both online and in-store, from brands that young people love.

UNiDAYS: Saving students lots of dosh for free since 2011. Get more when spending less on everything from fashion to food, from brands including Apple to ASOS. Plus you don't need your student card, just download the app and flash your UNiDAYS iD   

NUS Extra: Brought to you by the National Union of Students, NUS Extra gives students discounts for as little as £12 for an annual card, such as 10% off at the Co-op and 25% off student tickets at Odeon Cinema. Top Tip: In your final year buy a 3-year card and enjoy the perks of student discount while being a graduate.  

Too Good To Go: Can't be bothered cook, but also don't want to break the bank with a takeaway? Too Good To Go lets you rescue delicious unsold food from restaurants and shops for a small fee. Collect your food and help fight food waste!   

 

 

 

Study & Work 

 

 

Cite This For Me: What did students use to do before automatic citation software? Spend hours and hours painfully referencing by hand. Thank God for all us all, we have websites like Cite This For Me, which generate correctly formatted citation at the click of a button.  

Easy Bib: Less popular, but equally as effective – Easy Bib is a citation platform that also provides note-taking and research tools. 

Grammarly: Every writer's little secret, a writing-enhancement platform that proofreads, detects plagiarism, and checks against 250 grammar rules. Basically Microsoft Word on steroids, plus you can add the app as a web browser extension – checking everything you type.

Media Beans:  A list of the best media jobs and internships in the UK. New jobs are added each day, including the ones hidden behind paywalls, paid-job searching services, and deep in Twitter. 

The Guardian Jobs: Arguably the best online search tool for graduate jobs in all sectors. Plus tons of resources on writing cover letters, networking, CV, and job hunting.  

 

Social & Leisure 

 

 

The Student Room: The largest student community in the world, ask it basically anything – from universities, relationships, finance and more. Plus get tips on uni applications and free revision tools. 

The National Student: An online magazine produced by student journalists for students. Great platform for supporting the new generation of writers and content creators – so get in touch for opportunities. 

Bob Media: An academic-focused video platform, that allows you to search for recorded programmes from over 65-free-to-air channels, and search an extensive archive of TV and film gold.

Native: Of course where is any student web resource list, without our very own app. Native is the number one nightlife tool, listing all the events in your city and providing students tons of ways to save money when going out.  

Drunk Mode: A personal favourite, avoid the embarrassment and guilt of waking up after a big night out. Drunk Mode allows you to block certain people for up to 12 hours and only get back in contact if you sober up, by answering a maths question.
