If you’re a university student, it’s a pretty safe bet that you need a way to make money. Whether you’re seriously struggling to make rent or you’re just after a little extra spending money, a part-time job is always a good option. But how do you fit that in with lectures, assignments, socialising and studying? Here are 5 flexible ways that you can make money while still getting to all of your classes and events.

If you have a subject that you excel in, consider taking on some students to tutor. Post flyers around your campus or neighbourhood, or advertise on social media. The good thing about tutoring is that you can plan classes around your schedule.

This is particularly relevant if you’re studying a masters or PHD. You can work with professors you admire in subjects that you like and get a feel for what it’s like working in the academic industry.

Universities often advertise paid studies in various faculties, and these can often pay well. Find something that sounds interesting to you, whether it be psychology, medical or sports-related, and go for it! There are also online surveys that you can be paid to fill out; these are good because you can do them in your own time.

If you’re proficient in a sport, consider coaching a team on the weekends. Sporting coaches (especially those for university teams) can make a fair amount, especially if you have prior experience.

With apps like TidyMe and Airtasker, it’s possible to earn some extra money by completing one-off tasks for customers. Odd jobs can include cleaning, helping someone move, building furniture and pet-sitting.
