How Many Hours Can International Students Work
International students on a student visa can work a maximum of 20 hours per week. This includes both paid work and unpaid work.
Volunteering, such as in a charity shop, does not count towards the 20 hours total a week limit.
What Jobs Can/Can’t International Students Do?
The student visa does not allow you to do a number of jobs. These include being self-employed, working full-time, being an entertainer or in sports, as well as engaging in business activities.
How do I Find Work as an International Student?
As a student, finding work is essential for getting the experience and skills that will make you stand out to employers when you are applying for graduate jobs.
There will be many work opportunities both on campus and away from your university. Just by proving that you can succeed in a working environment, you will be valued higher by employers ahead of someone who has higher grades but has never done a day of work in their lives.
If you are still struggling to get work, you should consider getting a career coach.
At Graduate Coach, we have a track record of helping international students find work in the UK.
