Finding a student job: how it works

Getting your search started is very simple:

  1. Register or log in on the Student Jobs Platform to browse all the approved job offers
  2. 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:
