Hi!
I'm not at uni so hopefully someone who is can give you an answer about what jobs people work while studying but most people will take out a student loan which you pay back once you've finished uni and have started working full time. Here is the link to the UK government website which explains how you pay it back in more detail, just click here.
You could also be eligible for bursaries (money you don't have to pay back) since you are the first in your family to go to university, maybe ask someone at your college/sixth form if they know any you could apply to or you can use the Turn2Us grants search and see if anything comes up (link is here!).
It might also be helpful to get a part time job now and start saving so you have a bit of money already but don't stress about it too much since you probably have a lot on with exams and work experience.
Hope this helps and best of luck! ❤️

Student finance would be dependent on where you’re from (England etc) and your age. If you’re under 25, it will go off your parent(s) wage, whereas if you’re a mature student, it will go off your wage. You can also apply for accommodation through SFE. If you’re cost worried it might be best looking at uni’s in cheaper areas - UClan and HK would be the cheapest.
There are bursary’s available. I can only speak for HKVS, but we have EMS bursaries available and I also received a bursary which I never applied for but because I met certain requirements I was automatically entitled to it. External bursaries exist too.
Timetable wise, we have Wednesday’s ‘off’. The morning is for online session(s), catch up, revision, and sports or work. The vet school are aware many of the students work and they’re okay with it, as long as it doesn’t affect attendance and exams/results. I personally work every other Saturday and during holidays as a registered vet nurse. A lot of other students have jobs too (shops, super markets, farms etc). As the years progress the ability to work does become more challenging though

I originally applied for vet nursing at uni back in 2014 as I didn’t think I would have the academic ability to do vet med. I didn’t go ahead with it as I wanted to be a vet and wouldn’t be able to afford to do vet med post grad, so did the vet nursing diploma
