Supplementing your income

At º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, several Professional Services provide opportunities for doctoral students to supplement their income.

Hall of Residence Subwardenship:

Each hall of residence at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ has a Warden’s team comprising of a Hall Warden and several Subwardens (the number of which depends on the size of the hall).

Free accommodation (suitable for a single person) is available to all Subwardens throughout the year. Meals are provided to Subwardens residing in catered hall of residence. For those in self-catered halls, meals are provided during term time throughout the diners+ scheme.

Subwardens assist the Warden in the day-to-day running of the hall. This may involve pastoral, disciplinary and administrative duties as well as being involved in the social aspects of hall life. Subwardens provide out-of-hours emergency cover to residents and help to ensure the smooth running of the hall.

Subwardenships are only available to Postgraduate Research Students.

Visa International students please note:

If you are on a Student visa (previously Tier 4) there are very strict rules governing how much you can work during your studies. 

Work limits include all part-time employment (i.e. may be made up of hours worked for different employers), whether paid or unpaid. Tier 4 students may freely undertake ‘volunteering activity’ but time spent undertaking ‘voluntary work’ may count towards the weekly limit.
