Working While You Study

From CV building to supplementing your student loans, gaining work experience and earning can always make a change while studying. Thankfully, there are lots of opportunities for you to earn while you learn, without taking time away from your studies.

IN THE UNION

Our shops and venues all need to be well stocked and run by capable, enthusiastic student staff, so we hire over 200 students every year to work in the Students’ Union. From serving food and drink to designing posters for events and campaigns, there are plenty of things to get involved with in the Union.

If you are recruited for one of the jobs, you’ll be paid over the minimum wage and our flexible working means it doesn’t interfere with your studies.

As well as making money and more than a few friends, you’ll have the chance to receive training in different professional areas, from food hygiene to leadership and management. STUDENT AMBASSADORS

Would you love to meet prospective students, visitors and guests and represent the student community? Our Student Ambassadors are paid to help at various recruitment events, including Open Days, giving you lots of ways to develop your social, organisational, time management and communication skills. Plus, becoming a student ambassador is a fantastic way to make new friends and build up personal and professional references.
