You’ll find lots of part-time jobs for students in and around Southampton, including many on our campuses. Taking on part-time work can give you experience that will help when it’s time to apply for graduate jobs.
As a University of Southampton student, we can help you find work locally, including:
We offer workshops and drop-in advice sessions to develop your employability skills, both for now and when you graduate.
All our campuses are within 30 minutes of the city centre by public transport, but there are also job opportunities right on campus.
You could become a Student Ambassador, leading activities and being a role model to young people. Alternatively, you could work with the Student’s Union or take on temporary campus jobs, doing anything from catering to being a guest lecturer.
If you are coming to the UK on a Student visa (Previously Tier 4) you can work up to 20 hours a week during term time. This doesn’t include work placements that are part of your course.
We’ll help you understand what you can and can’t do under your visa.
As a UK undergraduate student living at home, before your course starts the money that you earn from a part-time job should not affect your student loans. This is because the money that you are entitled to depends on your family's household income.
If you are in other circumstances, such as living with a partner or supporting yourself as an independent student, then you will still be assessed on your household income and this may include your part-time earnings.
