Part-time Work and Student Jobs

For many students, part-time or vacation work has become an integral part of student life. As well as easing financial pressures, a well-chosen job can provide excellent work experience. It can give you a taste of different working environments, and provide a competitive edge for when you leave university and enter the workplace.

Many universities and colleges have job shops connecting students to local employers offering part-time or vacation work, and often run special initiatives with local employers and organisations.

It is important to be realistic and balanced in your approach to part-time work. Working for too many hours during term-time will affect your ability to produce good academic work. Some universities and colleges don't encourage their undergraduate students to work, so check first to see what their policy is.
