In the UK, international students can usually work part-time. The UK government allows international students with legal student visas to engage in limited work during their studies and during holidays.
According to the regulations of the British government, international students holding a student visa can:
1. Work up to 20 hours per week during study.
2. Work full-time during course holidays (generally Christmas, Easter and summer holidays each year).
It should be noted that although international students can work part-time, they cannot rely on working to fully cover tuition and living expenses. Working part-time is mainly to provide some extra support and gain some work experience.
In addition, it is worth noting:
1. Salary level: The British minimum wage standard applies to all employees, including international students. Specific salary levels depend on the nature of the job and industry. You should find out what wages are like in your area and make sure you have a clear agreement with your employer.
2. Job types: International students can engage in various types of jobs, such as restaurant waiters, supermarket salespeople, office assistants, etc. However, please be careful to abide by UK laws and work regulations and do not work illegally.
3. Employment opportunities: The British job market is highly competitive, and it may take some time and effort for international students to find a job. Jin Jilie encourages international students to prepare in advance and actively look for job opportunities that suit them, such as through the school’s career consulting services, online recruitment websites and social networks.
Finally, Jin Jilie recommends that you balance the relationship between work and study during your part-time job, and ensure that your working time will not have a negative impact on your studies. Please comply with UK laws and school regulations and understand relevant employment terms and restrictions.
