Want to work while you study?

If you are thinking of working during your studies, you can.

On a student visa you are allowed to work part-time during term time and full-time during holidays. Working not only lets you earn money towards your living expenses, it can also give you experience in the workplace. This might be helpful when you apply for jobs after your studies.

Students travelling on a student visitor visa are not allowed to work.

It's usually quite easy to find a part-time job in most towns and cities. Check your local newspaper and look for notices in shop and café windows or ask your classmates for suggestions.

The Education UK website is great for more information about working while you study. Why not download their Find your way to work leaflet now?

The UK has a national minimum wage. For more information visit the HM Revenue & Customs website.
