Work in the UK
Many international students would like to work in the UK while studying in the UK. This gives them the opportunity to balance their budget, improve their English and gain skills and experience.
Most Colleges and Universities provide a list of company partnerships to international students, giving them the opportunity to work for part-time or do an internship helping to improve their qualifications and skills, having this way a closer and real experience to their future career.
International students undergoing English Language Courses have part-time jobs during their short-term stay at coffee shops, restaurants or local business in a way of practicing and improving their communication skills.
Before considering taking any jobs or internship, confirm if your visa status allows you to work in the UK while studying, and how many hours per week you can do.
Students with a Tier 4 (General) Visa many times are eligible to work in the UK while studying. They are allowed to work 10 to 20 hours per week during class months. They can also work full time during holidays or vacation time of school. It will always depend on the course and level of education they will choose.
