Part Time Working in Aberdeen

Student life in Aberdeen is relatively cheap when compared to other cities in the United Kingdom these days, but of course it isn't free. Many first-time students find it rather difficult to balance the books when they first arrive here, especially perhaps when they have embraced the social side of university life. All those drinks, coffees, pizzas and burgers can start to mount up in no time at all.

Thankfully, Aberdeen offers plenty of opportunities for students from the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University to take up part time working in a bid to bring in some much-needed income. Thanks to the plethora of roles that are usually available, it's generally easy to find something that fits in with the demands of the university course. The best way of finding the right job to match your needs is via employment agencies, many of which specialise in student jobs.

There are a number of agencies based in the city centre as well as in the surrounding suburbs. Registering with several of them from the beginning will increase your chances of finding something suitable, so it's a good idea to do just that. It's an even better idea to register online in advance of your study year, because you will then be able to browse jobs in advance of those students who hadn't been so forward-thinking.
