Exam Invigilator

Working as an exam invigilator in Groningen places you at the heart of the academic calendar for both the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG) and Hanze University of Applied Sciences. Most exams take place at the Zernike Campus, specifically in large-scale venues like the ACLO sports halls or dedicated exam centers, which are easily accessible by bike or the frequent bus lines from the Grote Markt. You might also find yourself stationed at historic locations in the city centre, such as the Academy Building, or modern facilities near Europapark.

This role is particularly popular among students because it aligns perfectly with the rhythm of the semester. During the peak "tentamenperiodes," the city transforms into a focused study hub, and being an invigilator allows you to earn a competitive wage while staying connected to the campus environment. Since the shifts range from early morning until 22:00, you can easily plan your work around your own lectures or social life in the Poelestraat. For international students, this is an excellent English-friendly opportunity to gain work experience in a professional, academic setting without needing fluent Dutch, making it one of the most accessible part-time roles in the North.
