Stu­dent job and ca­reer

The perfect student job from the start?

When you find a study-relevant student job often depends on where you are in your studies:

Bachelor students

Very few students have a study-relevant student job from the beginning. For many, the start of their studies is about settling in, building relationships and developing good study habits. Typically, students find a study-relevant student job later in their bachelor or master programme.

Some students continue in the job they had during their gap year, while others choose not to work at the beginning in order to focus on learning how to be a student.

Master students

For master students, a student job often plays a bigger role in strengthening their job opportunities after graduation. Some continue in the student job they had during their bachelor programme, while others change direction or work in a more specialised role within their field of study.

For many, a student job also becomes a pathway into the labour market, and some continue in a permanent position with the same employer. A study-relevant student job can therefore serve as a springboard to your first full-time job.

Alternative ways to gain experience

A student job is far from the only way to gain experience during your studies. Voluntary work, internships or projects and assignments carried out in collaboration with a company are all good ways to gain experience and build a network that can also open doors to your future working life.

At the same time, your education at CBS provides a solid academic foundation in itself, which you can build on through different types of experience along the way.

Balancing studies and work

It is important that a student job fits in with your studies and everyday life. Most employers are used to hiring students and take teaching schedules and exam periods into account. Many students choose to prioritise a student job because it provides experience and skills that are highly valued by employers. At the same time, it is important to create balance in your daily life so there is room for studies, work and leisure.
