Jobbing

Along with their studies, students often take a student job in order to earn some pocket money for the extracurricular activities, the busy social life and travelling expenses. If you are looking for a student job during your stay in Antwerp, take a look at www.studentjobweb.be. Jobweb is a job database developed by the Antwerp University Association in order to help students find a suitable student job. It also provides you with more information on regulations.

In order to access the web page, you need to obtain a password from the Office for Student Affairs on your campus.

Most jobs require a sound knowledge of Dutch. However, a special section mentions jobs that do not require knowledge of the Dutch language.

The university has its own ‘job service’, where students can get more information about student jobs on campus. More information can be obtained from the Office for Student Affairs on each campus.
