Tuition Fees, Scholarships and BursariesYou may also want to think about getting a part-time job. For many students, part-time or vacation work has become an integral part of student life. As well as easing financial pressures, a well-chosen job can provide excellent work experience. It can give you a taste of different working environments, and provide a competitive edge for when you leave university and enter the workplace. However, it is important to be realistic and balanced in your approach to part-time work.
Working for too many hours during term-time will affect your ability to produce good academic work. It is often recommended that students do not work more than about 15 hours per week.
You may be exempt from paying income tax on money earned through part-time work, so make sure that your employer is aware that you are a full-time student. Any money that you earn while you are studying will not count in your income assessment and so will not affect the level of support, i.e. grants and loans, that you are entitled to from the Government.
