Ancillary activities and student jobs
With the prior consent of the Office Cantonal de la Population, the students may work for a maximum of 15 hours a week (and on a full-time basis during the school holidays). It is the employer’s job to provide the Office Cantonal de la Population with the request for ancillary activity. Students from outside Europe who have the benefit of a "Séjour temporaire pour études" (Temporary residence for studies) permit may only carry out remunerated activity 6 months after the start of their studies.
Please note: Students carrying out activity on a remunerated basis must, as a mandatory requirement, take out insurance in Switzerland (principle of insurance instead of employment). Students with private insurance may be exempted from this, as long as their insurance cover is equivalent and they make a request for dispensation from the SAM, via the form.
HES students have access to the Université de Genève’s Careers Centre platform, on which temporary job offers can be found.
