How to balance work and study
Advice and guidance on how to balance work and study.
Having a part-time job while at university can boost your income and provide you with the transferable skills that employers look for. However, it’s important that it doesn’t impact on your studies and so in this video we’ll give you some tips on how to find the right balance.
The first thing to do is speak to your employer and make them aware of your timetable and what days and times you can commit to. Make sure you plan your working hours around your university timetable, for example working extra shifts when it’s not exam season or you don’t have coursework due.
Be realistic about what you can do before you reach burn out and don’t take on too much or over promise. You could write a to do list to help you manage your time and to help you maximise any free time you have.
Finally, making the most of lectures will make it easier come exam time as you’ll be prepared but you also need to find the time to go out with friends and do things that you enjoy.
