At Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) we understand balancing study, a bustling social life and work is no easy feat, especially when you're juggling two cities.

Just like Joe, you can keep earning without the stress of starting from scratch. With M&B Transferred, you can focus on acing those exams, making new friends, and enjoying the best of both your university and hometown worlds. Who said working and studying can't go hand in hand?
Now, get ahead of the curve and unwrap the magic of why hospitality jobs are the ultimate Christmas treat for students.
