Student Discounts in the UK: How to Get Them and Where to Save
How UK student discounts work: UNiDAYS, Student Beans and TOTUM, the 16-25 Railcard, what you can save on, and tips to get the best price.
Being a student in the UK opens up a lot of discounts, from clothes and tech to food, travel and software. Most are free to access once you verify that you are studying. Here is how student discounts work and where to find them.
How to verify that you are a student
Most online student discounts are unlocked through a verification service. You sign up with your details and college or university email address, then use the service to get codes for participating retailers.
- UNiDAYS – a free app and website used by many fashion, beauty and tech brands.
- Student Beans – another free verification service with a large range of brands.
- TOTUM – a student discount card, with a free digital version and a paid card that some in-store discounts require.
Some retailers run their own verification, so if you cannot find a brand on these services, check the retailer’s own student discount page.
What you can usually get a student discount on
- Fashion and footwear: many high street and online fashion brands offer an ongoing student percentage off.
- Tech: laptop and tablet makers often have education pricing, and software firms offer student plans.
- Music and streaming: several streaming services have student subscriptions at a lower monthly price.
- Travel: a 16-25 Railcard gives a third off most rail fares in Great Britain, and you can usually keep using it if you are a mature full-time student.
- Food and days out: some restaurants, cinemas and attractions offer student prices, often only on certain days.
Tips to save even more
- Compare the student discount with other offers. During big sales, a general discount code can sometimes beat the student rate. Most retailers will not let you combine them, so pick the better one.
- Check whether it works in store. Some student discounts are online only.
- Watch for the start of term. Many brands run their best student offers in August and September.
- Keep your verification up to date. Most services ask you to re-verify each year.
