Worried about balancing university and finances?

Many students work part-time alongside their studies to help with living costs, gain valuable experience and build confidence. Our Careers and Employability Service can help you find part-time jobs, placements, internships and volunteering opportunities.

If you're looking for work, consider travel time, flexibility and how a role will fit around your studies. We recommend working no more than 16 hours a week during term time to help maintain a healthy balance.
