Finding a student job: how it works
Getting your search started is very simple:
- Register or log in on the Student Jobs Platform to browse all the approved job offers
- Select the advertisements that suit you and contact the employer of your choice directly
Administrative information and specific statuses
- Access to the platform: access to the offers is strictly reserved for students whose enrolment and payments with UCLouvain are in order. At the start of the academic year, there may be a delay between the regularisation of your administrative situation and the activation of your access.
- Students from outside the European Union: your right to work is directly linked to the validity of your residence permit. For the precise rules, see the Infor Jeunes page on specific statuses.
- "Les priorités job" (job priorities), a support to fund your studies: if you have to fund your study costs yourself, our social work team is at your side. By making an appointment with a social worker, you can submit a request for priority access to suitable jobs. A contact person will then handle the follow-up between you and the employer.
- Student solidarity: if you are experiencing difficulties or looking for support from other students, the Assemblée Générale des étudiant·es de Louvain (AGL – Louvain student general assembly) is also there to inform and support you.
Your rights and obligations (legislation)
You are no doubt asking yourself some practical questions about your situation:
- How many days can I work per year?
- How do I keep my entitlement to family allowances?
- How do I remain a tax dependant of my parents, and do I have to pay taxes?
- Can I exceed the 650-hour quota?
To inform and protect you, several official resources are available:
- The essential guide: see the Action Job étudiant brochure published by Infor Jeunes
- The Action Job and Job étudiant (student jobs) pages on the Infor Jeunes website
- The online application Student@work to track your hours quota in real time
- The student employment contracts page of the SPF (Service Public Fédéral – Federal Public Service) Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue
