Your Student Work Allowance

As an international student in the UK, you can work up to 20 hours per week in part-time jobs during term time and full-time during official holiday periods. It is your chance to earn while you learn and start building your professional profile from day one. Employers in the UK value candidates who show initiative, and starting early gives you a real head start when it comes to life after graduation. 

Always check your individual visa conditions before accepting any employment.

Why Work While You Study?

It is not just about earning money. Part-time work builds the kind of experience that sets you apart after graduation. Your studies come first, that is the reason you are here, but working alongside them adds real value to your time in the UK. Taking on part-time jobs helps you gain confidence in professional environments, develop transferable skills like communication, teamwork and organisation, and start growing a professional network in London before you even graduate. These work opportunities can also help you understand the UK job market and make informed choices about your next steps. 

London has work opportunities across hospitality, retail, administration, marketing, healthcare, events and technology. Whatever your background or interests, there is something for you.
