Finding part-time work

Author Student Communications | Posted on

Student living costs are at an all-time high, and in 2024, 58% of students said their maintenance loan doesn’t cover their living costs. With that in mind, you might be thinking about picking up a part-time job to help ease the pressure.

Here’s a quick guide to finding and balancing work alongside your studies:

What work can you do?

Anything you like! But if you’re looking for some ideas, here are some popular jobs among students:

  • Bar work offers flexible evening shifts that fit around lectures. However, be prepared for late nights and some challenging customers.
  • Hospitality jobs in cafes, restaurants, and hotels can be flexible around uni and may come with perks like free food. Just keep in mind the hours can be long and often involve being on your feet.
  • Retail jobs in supermarkets or shops include tasks like stocking shelves, serving customers, and working the till. They’re usually flexible and you can often get extra hours during busy periods like Christmas. Just be aware that weekend work is common and hours can vary.
  • Tutoring involves helping younger students with subjects like maths, English or science. It’s often online, so there are no travel costs, and the pay can be higher than other jobs. Just make sure you’ve got reliable internet and a quiet, private space to work from.

How do I find work?

Sort your CV – if you don’t have one yet, there are plenty of free templates online, and Save the Student has a helpful guide to writing a CV. The Careers Team here at UWE can also support you with CV writing and feedback.

Start your job search – look across a range of platforms to find part time jobs that suit you. Here are some good places to start:

Apply – make sure each application is tailored to the role. Read the job description carefully, highlight your relevant skills, and double-check for any errors before submitting. Keeping track of your applications can also help you stay organised.

Prepare for interviews – if you’re invited to an interview, research the company and be ready to talk about your experience, availability, and what makes you a good fit. The UWE Careers Team can support you with mock interviews and helpful advice.

Balancing work and study

Balancing a part-time job with your studies can be challenging, so here are some tips to help you manage:

– Be clear about the hours you’re available and check if your employer can accommodate them

– Ask if you’ll be able to take time off when needed, especially around exams

– Use a planner (digital or paper) to stay on top of your uni and work commitments

– Prioritise rest and relaxation. It’s important for your wellbeing as well as your studies

Why it’s worth it

A part-time job can bring in extra money, boost your CV and help you develop useful skills if it fits well around your studies. You could gain experience in teamwork, communication, and time management, while also building confidence and independence. The key is making sure it supports your student life, not overwhelms it.

Keeping on top of your spending in your first first few weeks

Author Student Communications | Posted on

Starting uni is super exciting, but let’s be real, it can feel like a lot in your first week. Between finding your way around, meeting new people, and navigating student life, keeping on top of your money can easily slip down the list.

So here’s a quick guide to help you manage your budget while enjoying student life in Bristol.

Local supermarkets

Bigger supermarkets are usually cheaper than the smaller corner shops, so it’s worth the walk. Here are some good options near Frenchay Campus:

ASDA Filton Superstore – located in the Abbeywood Retail Park (between a 15-20 min walk from campus)

Sainsbury’s – located on Fox Den Road (around a 15 min walk from campus)

Lidl – also located on Fox Den Road (10-15 min walk from campus)

Aldi – brand new this June and located on Fox Den Road (roughly a 15 min walk from campus)

Top tip: Lidl and Aldi are usually the cheapest, followed by ASDA, then Sainsbury’s (especially if you’ve got a Nectar card).

Getting around Bristol

There are lots of ways to get around, but buses are usually the cheapest and easiest.

First Bus: First Bus is the main bus company in Bristol, it offers several routes connecting UWE campuses with the city centre and surrounding areas. The  First Bus app has live bus times and a journey planner. As a student, you can get discounted ticket prices on the app.

M1/M3/M4 Metrobus: Metrobus services (M1, M3, M4) are rapid routes that connect Frenchay Campus to the city centre and Cribbs Causeway. They run late too, which is perfect for getting home after a night out.

You can also hire e-scooters and e-bikes around the city which are great for quick trips and easy to use. Just download the Dott app, ensure you’re signed up for student discount, find a ride nearby, and go. More info at Travelwest.

Food and drink on campus

Making your own food is always the cheapest option, but we get it, Freshers’ Week is hectic. Here’s how to keep your food and drink spend low on campus:

Coffee

  • Greggs is the cheapest at £2 for a flat white
  • The Atrium, The Grill and Wild Kitchen are next at £2.95 for a flat white
  • Starbucks and Costa are usually the most expensive

The Fresh Fruit and Veg stall in the Undercroft offers a great selection of locally sourced produce, including organic and Fairtrade options. Prices are low, and their popular £1 bowls of fruit or veg are a student favourite.

Morrisons Daily, located right on Frenchay Campus, is handy for grabbing essentials, snacks, or a quick lunch between lectures. It’s more affordable than some smaller convenience stores and saves you the walk to the bigger supermarkets.

And of course, if you’ve been organised and got yourself to a supermarket, here are some great recipes to get you started: BBC Good Food or Mob’s Easy & Cheap Student Recipes.

What to expect in your first few weeks

Author Student Communications | Posted on

Excitement. Nerves. Anticipation. It’s completely normal to experience a whole range of emotions as you start your university experience.

Knowing what to expect during those first few weeks can really help you prepare for what’s to come, and help ensure that you make the most of this opportunity.

Get settled into accommodation

If you’re moving out of home and into student accommodation then that can be one of the most exciting parts of your uni adventure. It might feel like there’s a lot to think about, but don’t worry – there’s tonnes of advice on this Student Life page.

If you’re going to be staying at home, then don’t worry. You’re not going to miss out on anything, and there are so many other students in the same situation as you. Plus there are even specific social events to help you meet new friends.

Starting Block

We know the whole experience might feel daunting, so we’ve developed Starting Block – a series of activities for you to get to know your teaching team and your coursemates.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll see Starting Block activities drop into your timetable so make sure you keep an eye on that and be ready to get stuck in so you get the best possible induction to university life.

Get out and meet people

An important part of university life is meeting new people and making connections. To help you do this, there are a huge range of events and activities you can get involved with, whether you’re the life of the party or you prefer something more low key.

This is your chance to shape your experience to suit you, so take a look at what’s on offer and start building your community.

Explore Bristol

If you’re moving here to Bristol you’ve made a great choice! It’s the perfect student city with so much to offer no matter what your interests are. Arts and culture? Check. Independent shops and restaurants? Check. Incredible nightlight? Check.

Get out there, explore everything and make new friends and memories along the way. Sites such as VisitBristol are a great way see what’s on, and find activities and events that suit your interests and budget.

Switching your mindset

Author Student Communications | Posted on

The move from school or college to university can feel a little overwhelming. Perhaps for the first time, you’re going to have to take responsibility for many aspects of your life – your education, your wellbeing, your finances.

Although it can seem intimidating at first, there’s so much support available to you to make sure you’ve got the help you need every step of the way. But you’ll need to reach out and access this support for yourself.

Switch your mindset now and start thinking about the ways you are going to need to be more independent. This new attitude will help you develop and grow, and ultimately allow you to have the best possible start to uni life!

  • You will be responsible for your own time – get organised. You’re likely to have competing demands on your time. You’ll have lectures to attend, projects to finish, friends to message and social plans to arrange. Add to that paid work, exercise, food and sleep, and it all starts to look a bit busy. Nobody is going to tell you how to stay on top of all this, time management needs to be your priority! If you think you need extra support with this, you might want to book an appointment with one of our Student Experience Coaches.
  • Things won’t get done if you don’t do them. Putting off an assessment, ignoring that looming deadline, forgetting to reply to that email from your lecturer. The only person that can do the things that you need to get done as part of your course is you. Bite the bullet, eat the frog – however you want to phrase it – stop procrastinating and tick off that To Do list to stay on top of your studies. Why not brush up on your study skills if this is something you struggle with.
  • You get out what you put in. There is SO much to love about university life and so many opportunities out there for you to make the most of. But these things aren’t just handed to you on a plate. If you want good marks in your assessments, you need to attend lectures and do the work. If you want to set yourself up for successful career when you graduate, then you need to go out and find internships and work placements so your CV is polished. If you want to travel abroad as part of your studies, then you need to do the research and work out how to make it happen.
  • Get to know who you are and what makes you happy. University is an opportunity to meet new people, take up new hobbies and learn new skills. While this is incredibly exciting and exhilarating, it’s also important that you know when to say no. Getting the balance right between pushing yourself out of your comfort zone while still knowing and enforcing your boundaries, is a tricky thing to learn.
  • Look after yourself. It sounds so basic, but nobody is going to remind you to drink enough water, eat nutritious meals, get an early night every now and again. But they are so vital if you want to stay healthy. You are now responsible for your own health and wellbeing so give it the attention it deserves.
  • Don’t be afraid to lean on old support systems and create new ones. Just because you’re here at uni doesn’t mean all your friends and family back home disappear. Make sure you keep in contact with them, especially if you’re finding things difficult. Also, work on building those support systems here at university as well, so that you feel like you have people to turn to when you need to.
  • Ask for help if you need it. Remember, although it’s down to you to manage your own university experience, you can access so much support here at UWE Bristol. Academic staff are available to answer your questions, the Student Money Service can help with budgeting, our Wellbeing services can support you when times feel tough. But you need to be the one to reach out and access all these services. If you’re going through a tricky patch, find the help that you need and make the most of it.

Taking control of your inbox

Author Student Communications | Posted on

Ping!…. Ping!….. Ping, ping, ping!

An overflowing inbox, with new emails coming in faster than you can delete the old ones, can feel like a lot. We get it. And we know you don’t want to be inundated with irrelevant information or unnecessary updates. Which is why we’re working hard to make sure that we are only sending you stuff that you need or want to know about.

However, email is still going to be one of your main communication channels as a student and it’s so important that you’re keeping on top of the different info that’s going to be sent your way. Life as a uni student means taking on new challenges, and one of those might be having to manage a busy inbox for the first time.

So, we’re here to help! The tips below will help you embrace good habits and become a pro at managing your emails:

  • Organisation – create folders within your inbox, so you can file emails into the appropriate place and easily find things at a later date. Specific modules. Society updates. Correspondence with your landlord. If everything has its place then your inbox will feel neat and tidy rather than overflowing and overwhelming.
  • Unsubscribe – you have the power to stop (some) unwanted emails reaching you. All corporate emails will have an unsubscribe option, so if you feel you’re being spammed then take two minutes to get yourself off that mailing list. Just don’t unsubscribe from Student Communications – our emails are useful and interesting, promise! Also, you’d miss out on really important information around term dates, health and wellbeing support, changes to academic regulations, IT shutdowns etc.
  • Don’t ignore – five unread emails can quickly become 50 if you just turn a blind eye and pretend they’re not there. So, the best thing to do is to deal with emails quickly. For every email that you open do one of the following: Delete, Take Action or File it. Don’t be afraid to delete stuff that you don’t need. Just don’t leave it sitting unread.
  • Set boundaries – accessing your emails on your phone is a great way to make sure you stay connected while on the go, and the point above highlights the benefit of regularly reading and actioning emails. But, 24/7 access to emails is not always a positive thing, so try to set your own boundaries to make sure you don’t start feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps limit inbox checks to certain times of the day, so you’re not constantly distracted by the notifications.
  • Consider other ways of communicating – not everything has to be said via email. You could try to keep your emails for academic purposes, and move personal or social conversations somewhere else, such as WhatsApp or Teams. Also, if you find yourself in a lengthy email exchange with your lecturer, perhaps its worth speaking to them in-person instead.
  • Get some training – there are some great resources out there to make sure you’re using your email system to its full potential. Unlock that knowledge by doing some research and finding tutorials for programmes such as Outlook and Gmail.
  • Ask for help – hopefully these tips will help you navigate your uni inbox, but remember, if you get stuck, make sure you check out our UWE Email webpage.

10 reasons you’re gonna love Bristol

Author Student Communications | Posted on

If you’ve bagged a place at UWE Bristol (congrats!) then you might already know a bit about our amazing city and all it has to offer. But if you haven’t had a chance to visit yet – and especially if you’ve found your way to us through clearing – we thought we’d reintroduce Bristol and why we love it so much.

Landmarks!

Make your friends from home jealous by sharing selfies with our world-famous landmarks. The Clifton Suspension Bridge is not only a mean feat of engineering but provides the perfect backdrop for that “I’ve arrived in Bristol!” selfie – it’s what Brunel would’ve wanted 😉

This year Bristol celebrates 650 years as a city, and with that history comes so much to explore. Check out the gorgeous Cabot Tower parkland (climb the tower itself for unrivalled views of the city) and the iconic Bristol harbourside – home to the S.S. Great Britain.

The theatre scene is buzzing

From West End musicals at the Bristol Hippodrome to cutting-edge plays at the Bristol Old Vic; there’s something for everyone. Venues such as the Tobacco Factory Theatre and the Wardrobe Theatre offer everything from contemporary theatre to the classics.

It’s a firm foodie destination

Known for quirky independents to Michelin-starred gems, Bristol has it all! There’s a strong focus on local, organic and ethical food. Grab some of Bristol’s best street food at St. Nicks Market or head to Cargo at Wapping Wharf – home to a host of independent eateries.

It’s a green city!

Bristol is overflowing with green spaces to chill, study and meet friends in. Countryside surrounds the city on all sides and in-between – highlights close to our campuses include the beautiful Ashton Court, Stoke Park and Snuff Mills, and in the city centre, Queen Square, Victoria Park and the Downs are all worth a visit.

Bristol culture

Street art, museums, history – Bristol’s culture is as vibrant and diverse as our city is. Get to know the heart of Bristol by catching an independent film at Watershed, seeing some live jazz at the Old Juke; or booking yourself onto a Banksy walking tour to get those snaps for the ‘gram!

We’ve got a festival for pretty much everything

Upfest for street art; music at Love Saves The Day; Bristol Balloon Festival for, well, balloons… Then there’s St Paul’s Carnival, Bristol Pride, Bristol Light Festival, Bristol Harbour Festival, Bristol Craft Beer Festival… needless to say, you’ll never be bored here!

Legendary nightlife

From big clubs with top DJs to gigs, underground speakeasies, regular comedy nights and karaoke – and a huge LGBTQ+ scene – Bristol nightlife is what you call LIT! OK, we can’t pull that off, but it really does have something for everyone. Bristol’s also been awarded the Purple Flag status in recognition of our efforts to keep our city a vibrant and safe place to enjoy at night.

It’s super sporty!

Ashton Gate Stadium houses Bristol City Football club and Bristol Bears, and across the city you’ll find opportunities for climbing, sailing, cycling and so much more. We recommend trying your hand at paddle boarding down the harbour or heading to the outskirts of the city where you’ll find The Wave; a popular year-round inland-surfing destination.

What’s our vibe here then?

Well, Bristol is known for being diverse, independent, creative and, most importantly, super friendly. Catchphrases you’ll hear out and about are “Cheers drive” for any form of transport; “Alright my loverrr” as a standard greeting; and “Shipshape and Bristol fashion” for when things are in good order – such as like your study notes, timetable, your (sustainable) out-out wardrobe…

Wanna explore further?

Stokes Croft and Montpelier fall just outside the main city and are a lively hub for student life, lined with vintage shops, quirky cafés and a Banksy or two. Head to North Street in Bedminster for tonnes of urban art, and the Tobacco Factory Market on Sundays for ethical and eco-friendly goods, food and drink, craft and art stalls.

You can find out more about all the places we’ve mentioned on the Visit Bristol website.

We hope you’ll have fun exploring our city. Wait, your city. Share your pics with us by using #HelloUWEBristol
