Plan ahead for the summer

If you can hold out until the end of your last term, then your range of options for summer jobs will be a much greater than working part-time. There are two major reasons for this - firstly, you'll be all to devote of all your attention to a summer job, whereas part-time work has to be fitted around your busy timetable.

Secondly, you're not restricted to the highly competitive job market which surrounds any university campus. You can look much further afield for summer employment options, and if you had hoped to travel during the summer holidays, then one of your best options may be to combine your need for income with your wanderlust instinct.

You may wish to consider either enrolling on a work and travel programme, or taking advantage of the liberalised European labour market, which will allow you to work in any other EC country.
