StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsI worked at University of Birmingham part-time for more than a year
Pros
- As a student at the University of Birmingham, it is very easy to get a part-time job across campus with excellent pay. - Wonderful culture with people who really care about you. - Flexible: could come in a bit early to finish a bit early!
Cons
- Students are only allowed to work 15 hours per week - of course this is to ensure your studies are a priority, but my schedule changed from one week to the next meaning at times I was perfectly capable of doing more than 15 hours per week, yet this was not allowed.
