First things first, how do I get a student discount in the UK?

If you're over 16 and enrolled as a part-time or full-time student, you're eligible for a wide range of student discounts in the UK. But which discount platforms should you use?

Our top pick is the TOTUM card and app—the modern version of the classic NUS Extra card. For a small fee, TOTUM gives you access to hundreds of exclusive student discounts on fashion, tech, food, and more.

You can also save for free by creating accounts with UNiDAYS and Student Beans. Simply verify your student status using your university email address or student ID, and unlock instant access to top-brand discounts across the high street and online.

💡 Top tip: Always check the latest Groupon promo codes—not just the student-specific ones. Many of our general offers can save you even more on everything from last-minute holidays to fashion and tech.
