Part-time work
Many of our students undertake part-time work during their studies to
earn money and gain important experience to prepare them for graduate-level
jobs.
JobsOnline
JobsOnline, our
online vacancy service, helps you find part-time work during the term and
vacation period. Vacancies are highlighted via online updates, on notice
boards around our campuses and in regular e-mails.
Frontrunners
Our innovative frontrunners student placement
scheme provides campus-based, paid opportunities which
allow you to develop your skills. Each post is supported by a skills
development programme.
Careers Centre
Our Employability and Careers Centre can offer you advice and
support about finding part-time work.
Graduate Teaching Assistants
Most departments, schools and centres provide
research students with work opportunities as Graduate Teaching Assistants
(GTAs), who support our permanent academic staff in their teaching.
All our GTAs are given an induction and training courses, and are
supervised by permanent members of staff.
Working as a GTA will give you experience of teaching in higher education
in a supportive and structured way. You will also be able to gain credits
for your work by taking module one of the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher
Education Practice (PG CHEP).
