Besides studying, you might want to work in the UK while you’re there. This can be a useful way to develop your work skills and strengthen your CV. However it’s important you do not rely solely on getting work in order to fund your studies.
As an international student attending a course longer than six months, the immigration should automatically put a ‘restriction on working’ stamp in your passport. This means:
During term time, you can work up to 20 hours a week and full-time during vacations (you can also work longer if the work placement is an essential part of your course – e.g. the work period of a sandwich course – or if you are on a degree course and the work placement is an internship lasting no more than three months).To find a job, start with the career services at your college or university. Many institutions have a few openings for students to work on campus in various roles, and the careers service should have the details. They’ll probably also have information about current vacancies or upcoming holiday jobs off campus, and about what sort of work is usually available in the area. And don’t forget that careers services can give you general information about a wide range of careers, as well as advice about how to link your short-term job to your long-term career goals.
Other ways to find a part-time or holiday job in the UK include:
checking the notice boards around your institution
