Case Studies

The materials and training have been tested and evaluated by Higher Education Institutions, colleges and schools. The development has involved the intellect, ideas and feedback of thousands: student ambassadors, practitioners, teachers, parents, sixth formers, Summer School attendees, designers and writers. 

Students and advisers from a range colleges and universities have been trained:

"This is a super resource that teachers, students and those working with young people in informal youth settings will find an invaluable tool.

It's relevant to young people, appropriate and stimulating. The Mash Test is not only thought provoking but fun to do. The pack is well laid out, visually 'exciting' and the student materials have good readability. I particularly like the way in which the activities are 'layered' introducing concepts and building upon them."

John Lloyd, Citizenship, PSHE and RE Team, Department for Education and Skills

"I've gained greater confidence and an easier understanding of other people and finance issues."

Student Mentor

"It was a lot of fun – and it is about making a difference. It was so motivating."

1st year, student ambassador

"I found the materials really effective. The activities are really interactive and fun. It makes student finance more realistic – as it puts the information into real situations."

HE advocate, Aimhigher Halton

"UNIAID Interactive is relevant to young people as it is pitched at the right level."

Graduate mentor, Liverpool

"The training has opened my eyes to a very interactive resource which will help many students."

Widening Participation Officer, University of Reading

"It is so useful, as it helps with the idea of budgeting AND time."

Student Ambassador, Aimhigher Berkshire

A higher education summer school at the University of Liverpool was attended by pupils from Years 10 and 11. UNIAID Interactive sessions were run by trained students:

"I loved finding out about myself and others – and the computer games were ace."

Year 11

"I had no idea what was involved in student finance, it’s been a real shock to the system – but in a good way!"

Year 12

"It was good finding out how to cope with money in the future."

Year 11
