Work while you study

Many international students choose to stay in the UK during the summer break, for many this is the perfect time to work.

There are many opportunities for you to supplement your income by working while studying. These include:

  • up to 20 hours per week during term-time
  • full-time during vacations
  • in a full-time work placement as part of their course as long as this does not exceed 50% of the course duration.

Our handbook which explains students' work entitlements can be viewed here.

We have a lot of support available to help you find the right opportunities. Visit our Careers Network for more information.
