£7.60 is illegal. The minimum wage for someone over 25 is £7.83. Not a lot of difference sure, but still illegal. (I'm assuming you are in the UK as you are using £, and over 25 as you describe yourself as a mature student)
I suggest you read this, but bear in mind this is the minimum legal wage. What is a good wage, I can't help you with other than to say an illegal one sure isn't.
