Working whilst studying

If you are a full-time student, the Department recognises that you may choose to supplement your finances by gaining employment in a variety of work settings. You are reminded that your primary commitment during your study is to the academic requirements of the programme and you must not undertake paid employment at times when you are expected to be attending lectures. We recommend that you notify your personal supervisor of any additional employment undertaken during your programme.

The University advice for full-time students is that paid employment should not be more than 20 hours per week.

If you are a part-time student, the Department recognises that it is possible that you may be working whilst studying. However, if you suddenly experience a change in workload, we recommend that you notify your personal supervisor of this as a matter of urgency so that we can support you to rearrange your timelines.
