Oyster Card

As a student aged 18 or above and currently living in a London borough, you are able to apply for an 18+ Student Oyster photocard which provides students 30% off all tube and bus travel in London.

To apply for this, you will need to apply online with TFL. The university will then be responsible for confirming your student status and your Oyster photocard will be processed

Rail Card

For students looking to travel, you are able to apply for the 16-25 Railcard which allows you to save up to 33% off most train fares. If you are a mature student (aged 25+), you are still eligible to apply for the Railcard but must ensure that you state that you are aged 25 and above during your purchase. Railcards cost £30 per year or £70 for three years.
