Whether we have our headphones on at the gym, are listening to a playlist on the way to class, or have started a jam to get the vibes flowing at pre-drinks, we all know that music is impossible to live without. But between subscriptions, gigs, and vinyl records, appreciating music can soon turn into an expensive hobby—so why not offset the costs with these five music student discounts?

1. Spotify Premium for just £5.99 per month 🎵

Where would we all be without Spotify? Still, whilst the free version certainly does the job, sometimes the adverts can get a bit too annoying and we yearn for the ability to be able to listen to music offline. So why not take advantage of Spotify’s student subscription and nab a cheap Premium plan while you can? At just £5.99 a month, you’ll be saving a massive £6 a month—and you’ll get all of the benefits that Spotify Premium offers. What’s not to love?

If you’re a die-hard Apple devotee then don’t panic—you don’t have to resort to using Spotify just yet. With Apple’s Apple Music student subscription, you can get one month of Apple Music for totally free, and all months afterwards are only £5.99 a month. This deal even includes access to Apple TV+, which means you’re technically saving even more, if you think about it.
