This means students who bought a TV licence last October and moved out at the end of their academic year could receive £50 for the remaining months which will go unused.

Matthew Thompson, spokesperson for TV Licensing, said: “We’re encouraging all eligible students to take up the refund, which is quick and easy to apply for. It’s important students buy a TV Licence when starting university to take advantage of the flexible payment options and avoid a fine of up to £1,000.”

Apply for the refund at www.tvlicensing.co.uk/studentinfo or on 0300 790 6113 by providing the details of your TV licence and evidence to show it is no longer needed, such as a copy of the end of tenancy agreement.
