Part-time work
Many of our students work part-time to help with living costs.
Our Student Jobshop advertises all the latest vacancies and staff are on hand to help and offer professional advice.
As well as the usual kinds of part-time work, the Jobshop also has details of vacation work, internships and year-long placements.

If you experience financial hardship you can apply for financial support from the University. Assessments are made based on your income, outgoings and personal circumstances.
