Uni of Glas job opportunities?

Went to my sister's graduation recently and start talking to the student working at the bar there. I've only heard of universities hiring students as ambassadors (read as: i live under a rock), so seeing that there were other jobs universities offer was quite nice.

Does anyone know all the jobs UofG offers their students?

I probably won't go for any as I am a pretty silent individual and would do better in a small store, but it's good to consider my options anyhow

hi!

If your not a social person i think student ambassador would really suit you if they do an online platform ambassador role! You can still help people and do working hours but it's not face-face with any potential student which could suit you!

Uni of Glasgow have a student opportunities hub which if you apply and are successful you can log in and see the jobs available!

You can also look at the bars like you have and the retail as those are the typical jobs for students!

Hope this helps!

Hello @small-drug ,

Thank you for your enquiry.

All of the student job opportunities on campus can be found on this page https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/careers/finding-jobs/studentopportunitieshub/ .

Our Student Ambassador scheme here on campus is an excellent way for students to gain some valuable experiences, as well as some extra pounds, as it is tailored around the student's schedule. There are different lines of work you can do as a student ambassador, as well as giving campus tours there are opportunities to travel around the UK representing Glasgow Uni. Or, if you're a less social person you could have a chance to be a student representative on online platforms to help current and prospective students (as I am).

Other than that, the areas around campus are full of opportunities for students to find part-time work not necessarily via UofG, such as coffee shops, restaurants, event venues, and many more.

I hope you find something that you like and which suits you!

All the best,
