University life doesn’t come cheap, so many students decide to work part-time during their studies, either to help fund their living or study costs or just to get a bit of extra cash. Part-time work is also useful for building up real-world work experience to add to your CV and show off to employers.

However, working whilst studying isn’t a decision to be taken lightly – it’s important to consider whether you have the time to fit it around your studies, whilst still leaving time behind to have a social life and enjoy yourself without being exhausted!
