Time management

Juggling your studies alongside a part-time job and other commitments is never easy, especially around exam and assessment times. Check out our time management tips for working students for a few pointers on how to balance your commitments whilst looking after your wellbeing.


Book loans

It might be a simple tip, but it's one that's often overlooked. Borrowing library books rather than buying them can save you a huge amount of money. Of course there are setbacks such as not being able to annotate pages or limited availability, but if you can loan books it'll save you a decent amount of money, especially if you only need the book for one module.

Hallam Library

The Hallam Library team run a Curated Reading lists project which has lots of interesting and useful resources you can access for free. It's crafted to help you explore a range of political and social issues, or simply find genre fiction to help you unwind and take a break from your studies. They have comics, genre fiction, prize winning books, and much more! View project overview video.
