Graduate case studies
Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.
To ensure the smooth running of the Students' Union club nights and other events
I normally arrive at work at 6pm, prepare the bars for the busy night ahead including - floating up tills, stocking up bars, arranging staffing, waste management and any other duties. The club opens at 11pm until 3.30am. My job to to make sure that the bars run efficiently while providing excellent customer service. Other duties include writing rotas, training staff, completing orders and general admin.
I work with up to 35 members of student bar staff so it is a very sociable role.
Maintaining a normal life while working until 4.30am in the morning.
There weren't many jobs available when I finished Uni so I just stuck with the job I did before. Also I could not sit in an office all day.
None that I gained from my degree.
