Part-time jobs

Part-time jobs are a fantastic way to earn extra money while you’re studying. Not to mention you will gain work experience, develop skills and meet new people. All of this will help you stand out from the crowd.

Many students successfully combine their studies with part-time work. And the best part is that your part-time work does not need to be related to your degree. Whether it’s a part-time summer role, working in retail or hospitality, or a bar or office, it’s all about developing skills and experience to enhance your CV.

What type of part-time job can I get?

Careers are here to help you find part-time jobs, whether they are on campus, in the local community or further afield, we are here to support you. Use the sections below to help you find a job that’s perfect for you.

We’ve also created this handy part-time jobs pathway where you can find out more information about finding a part-time job.
